When veteran business partners disagree about patriotic responsibility and political engagement

My co-founder and I are both veterans but we have completely opposite reactions to how our startup should respond to political moments — they think businesses should stay neutral as a form of patriotic unity and I think staying silent is abandoning our civic duty. Every time something happens nationally we end up in the same argument about what our responsibility is as American business owners.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners with shared military service are discovering that common background doesn't guarantee alignment on how patriotic duty translates to business leadership.
