On this episode, we’re looking into one of the biggest chasms between us in this country – who serves in the military and who doesn’t.

Jonathan heads to New Jersey with reporter and Army veteran Adam Linehan to see how that’s working out. You can read more of Adam’s work at https://www.adamlinehan.com/.
