Arrr, matey! Without takin' the blame, ye won’t be learnin’ nothin’ new, and our brave lads from Afghanistan be left adrift! Let’s hoist the sails of accountability, or we be doomed to sail the seas of folly with our future sea-dog allies! Avast!

Arrr, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of woe and treachery! 'Tis a tale of moral injury, that scallywag beast birthed from the foul betrayal o’ leaders who’ve lost their compass! When brave souls witness the wickedness of their captains, it leaves ‘em lost at sea, filled with despair!

One fine day, I be mindin' me own business, watchin’ the news o’ those Taliban ruffians celebratin' in Kabul. Aye, ‘twas then I received a call from Jane, a widow whose heart lay shattered like glass. Her beloved Chris, snatched from this world whilst fightin’ in distant lands, made her fear that all they fought for would be drowned in blood!

With tears flowin’ like a tidal wave, she spoke of savin' an Afghan lass named Arianna from the clutches of the wicked. “What be a pirate to do?” she lamented. “The world be cruel!” I tell her to hold fast, for one life saved can turn the tide of despair into hope.

But alas! Many a brave soul be sufferin' from this moral injury, feelin’ betrayed and abandoned as the tides of politics wash over ‘em. They seek justice for those left behind, demandin' accountability from the powers that be. So, me hearties, will ye stand for our brave sailors or let the winds of forgetfulness carry ye away?
