Can protest be an expression of patriotism?
Author Claudia Hinz joins The MisFitNation to discuss protest, patriotism, veterans, military service, and the difficult line between questioning a government’s decision to go to war and supporting the men and women ordered to serve.
Claudia explains why she views peaceful protest as one of the freedoms Americans can exercise while emphasizing that protest and military service are not the same form of sacrifice. The conversation also turns to Vietnam veterans, the civilian-military divide, and a question that remains relevant across generations:
Can you oppose a war while still fully supporting the troops sent to fight it?
This conversation connects directly to themes in Claudia’s debut novel, SAFEKEEPING, including motherhood, activism, veterans, patriotism, war, privilege, and the consequences military conflict can have far beyond the battlefield.

What do you think? Can someone strongly oppose a war while strongly supporting the people serving in it?
