Military & Veterans Group
The Mission
We bring together veterans and those whose military service has instilled them with the importance of unity, teamwork, and a country-first mentality in order to promote the Braver Angels mission and grow the membership base.
We believe our core values such as service-before-self and our behavior of acceptance of others and teamwork complement the Braver Angels’ mission.
Our group seeks out opportunities that capitalize on our veteran relationships and access to veteran organizations to further spread the Braver Angels’ methods of reducing affective polarization.
Who We Are
The Opportunity
- Seek out and engage with other veterans and active duty personal (those who have taken the oath of enlistment/office) sharing our cultural heritage
- Present to them the concept that our current nationwide inability to communicate and conduct civil discourse constitutes a tangible threat to the nation and thus invoke their oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States
- Remind them that veterans hold a unique place of trust in our society as it is recognized that we place service to our nation over self
- Point out that veterans have a higher level of social awareness built on the necessity of working side-by-side with others regardless of politics, religion, or demographics when American lives are at risk
- Build on the fact that veterans have an ability to compartmentalize and handle stressful environments
- And note that this experience gives veterans a unique ability to model Braver Angel depolarizing conversation skills in a way that likely will have a beneficial influence on others
