Summary

In this episode of The Mighty, Meidas contributor and Navy veteran Ken Harbaugh discusses the meaning of patriotism during a time when MAGA extremists have tried to co-opt it. Ken grew up in a military family. As a third generation fighter pilot, Ken always had an American flag flying outside his house. But now, extremists on the right have covered themselves in the symbols of country. Not only do these extremists not know what true patriotism is but they engage in the most unpatriotic and anti-American conduct. In this episode of The Mighty, Ken discusses what we can do.
