No single issue of national policy is capturing more public attention six weeks into the new Trump administration, than the president’s shocking — many would say shameful — embrace of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
And among the thousands of voices that have risen up in recent days to decry what they see as Trump’s abandonment of America’s commitment to support democracy and combat tyranny, one of the most eloquent is a retired U.S. Army 82nd Airborne captain named Scott Peoples. Peoples is a North Carolinian who helps lead the group Veterans for Responsible Leadership, and recently NC Newsline’s Rob Schofield caught up with him to discuss the situation in Ukraine, and his deep concerns about what Trump is doing to our military’s senior leadership and the services on which thousands of veterans depend.
