Keith Nolan sempre quis entrar para as forças armadas dos EUA. O problema: é surdo, o que é uma desqualificação automática de acordo com as regras militares. Nesta palestra, descreve a sua luta para combater pelo seu país.

Surdos nas forças armadas

Barriers keep thousands of capable citizens from military service due to outdated policies, especially around disability. Deaf people have served with distinction in wars past and continue to do so in countries like Israel, often in vital non-combat roles. In the US, 80 percent of military jobs are non-combat, yet blanket bans persist. The push for inclusion is gaining momentum, fueled by determination and the support of allies within the ranks.
