Summary
In this week's episode of Meidas Defense, Hell Cats co-hosts Maura Sullivan and Rebecca Bennett — a Marine Corps officer and a Navy helicopter pilot — sit down after the Fourth of July to ask what patriotism actually means in America right now. From Trump's handling of NATO and the war in Ukraine, to the Supreme Court's latest ruling on guns, to what it takes to love a country while pushing it to be better, the two veterans break down why the people who actually wore the uniform tend to find common ground across the aisle far faster than others. Along the way: Maura reading the Declaration of Independence with her Marines in Iraq, Rebecca squawking transponder code 1776 on a deployed Fourth of July, and the bipartisan veterans' caucus that washed the Vietnam Wall together over Memorial Day — and gave them real hope that country can still come before party.
