How Empathy Can Impact Even the Military

Because I'm horrified by the ongoing war-mongering and the $1.5 trillion proposed U.S. military budget for fiscal year 2027--especially when peace-keeping organizations are being diminished or abolished-- I cringed at the thought that Keith Mines' talents, curiosity, and empathy would be wasted in such actions as "Liberating Grenada." Of course, he had a lot of other overseas experiences--as a missionary in Colombia and in peace-focused organizations--and his empathy made him effective in working with people in Iraq. He clearly has his heart in the right place--with people and peace. It's good to learn that Keith Mines closed his career with peace-making. I'm sorry that this institute was abolished by DOGE. But listen to the end for all he's done.
