On November 12, Josh Shurley spoke with Dr. Olga Garcia, a physician, veteran, and member of Veterans For Peace, about the moral and medical dimensions of war and peace. She discussed her journey from military service to activism, her frustration with the silence of the medical profession in the face of injustice, and the urgent need for doctors to speak out for human rights and universal healthcare. The conversation connected Armistice Day/Veteran's Day’s original call for peace with today’s struggles — from Gaza to the U.S. — reminding us that healing must include resistance to militarism itself.
