How Veterans’ Service Abroad Creates Responsibility at Home | Hoover Institution

Thursday, March 7, 2024
Hoover Institution | Stanford University
A Post-9/11 Veteran Town Hall Discussion with veterans Jason Galui, Colin Frances Jackson, and Felicia Pinckney and Veteran Fellowship Program Fellow John Moses led by Hoover Fellow Jacquelyn Schneider.
Veterans’ experience abroad imparts a deep empathy for the world around them, with significant implications for the local communities to which they return. How does the post 9/11 veteran experience of combat or service abroad, and the profound relationships built between servicemembers and foreign allies and partners, impact how veterans view their responsibility to others when they return home? More specifically, for this generation of veterans, how do relationships built in Iraq and Afghanistan influence veterans’ advocacy with local and federal policies? How does the experience of the post 9/11 all-volunteer force manifest in democratic ideals at home?

"Thank you for your service" Mercenaries of the Empire must never be congratulated for killing human beings across the world for economic profit. Let’s have a moment of truth. The only ones who should be congratulated are Honest Journalists who have respect for the values of the Profession of Journalism and dare to Speak Truth to Power and expose Imperial war crimes and corporate corruption.
