The wounds of psychological warfare are real and painful, but they are invisible. It will take a cultural shift to recognise them as having a "moral parity" with physical wounds in kinetic war, and recognise the heroism involved in holding the line.

The only way to win is not to play the enemy's game, which leads to "war by paradox". The anchor is the spirit of peace and unity (WWG1WGA), which requires exactly the same kind of relentless focus on mission and goals as slogging through fields of mud.

In a way this war is entirely made up of "being socially spat on after coming come from the jungle for doing your best to fight for the right thing". If you are in it to be a hero, then you have misunderstood its essential nature.
