Veterans who report higher levels of morally injurious experiences involving transgressions by others and betrayal experiences in the presence of higher levels of global meaning are significantly less likely to experience suicide ideation. Continued research is needed to determine whether interventions aimed at cultivating global meaning may help mitigate suicide risk in combat veterans with high exposure to certain potentially morally injurious experiences.
