Ep.14 Troops in the Streets & "Toeing the Line": A Veteran Reflects on Military Service

Front Porch AF

Kelli and Sue welcome veteran Wes Minto to the front porch to discuss his Army experience, deployment to Iraq, and concerns about the use of military forces in U.S. cities, especially in the light of a soldier’s training to “toe the line.” Wes also offers practical advice on supporting veterans and how the public can engage with service members during tense moments.

Along with travel tales from Down Under (Kelli went to Australia) and Up Yonder (Sue went to Michigan), a music video cameo, a fan’s Haiku to the show, and much more, it’s a darn good episode. And a important one, given what is happening on the streets of American cities today.
