What does a just society owe the men and women it sends into harm’s way? In this episode of The Just Life, Benjamin Watson sits down with Johnny Joey Jones, Marine Corps veteran, New York Times bestselling author, and FOX News co-host of The Big Weekend Show.
In their conversation, Joey shares his journey from a small “one-horse town” in Georgia to serving as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician in the Marine Corps. After losing both legs in a combat injury in Afghanistan, Joey faced a hard reset on life. Together, Benjamin and Joey explore why responsibility is better than motivation, the danger of spoiling veterans with low expectations, and why the ultimate way to honor a service member is to expect something great from them.
