America was founded on the idea that all people are created equal and have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We were also founded with a civilian-led military whose members swore an oath - not to a king but to a Constitution. When veterans solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, the obligation to that oath does not end when a service member leaves the military. In this episode, veteran thinkers Scott Cooper (U.S. Marine Corps) and Dan Vallone (U.S. Army) join Ellen, Jeremy, and Joe for a robust discussion on what our responsibilities are as veterans and how we can best continue to serve America and strengthen our democracy.
Scott Cooper is a former Marine Corps EA-6B Naval Flight Officer and former founder of Veterans for American Ideals.
Dan Vallone is a former Army infantry officer and current director of More In Common, USA - whose mission is to build a more united and inclusive America that is resilient to profound threats posed by our country’s polarization.
