This collection of essays, inspired by the author s experience
teaching ethics to Marine and Navy chaplains during the Iraq War,
examines the moral and psychological dilemmas posed by war. The
first section deals directly with Dr. Peter A. French s teaching
experience and the specific challenges posed by teaching applied
and theoretical ethics to men and women wrestling with the
immediate and personal moral conflicts occasioned by the dissonance
of their duties as military officers with their religious
convictions. The following chapters grew out of philosophical
discussions with these chaplains regarding specific ethical issues
surrounding the Iraq War, including the nature of moral evil,
forgiveness, mercy, retributive punishment, honor, torture,
responsibility, and just war theory. This book represents a unique
viewpoint on the philosophical problems of war, illuminating the
devastating toll combat experiences take on both an individual s
sense of identity and a society s professed moral code.
