Retired 82nd Airborne Captain and member of Veterans for Responsible Leadership, Scott Peoples, joins the Holler for a Memorial Day conversation about service, democracy, political division, and what it means to defend the Constitution after taking off the uniform.They chat about what Memorial Day actually means beyond beach trips and cookouts, to jumping out of planes at Fort Bragg, the growing politicization of the military, and why veterans across the country are speaking out about protecting democratic norms.Scott shares the story that inspired him to join the Army after 9/11, what life inside the 82nd Airborne was really like, and why he believes veterans still have a responsibility to serve long after active duty ends.
