# Pillars of Democracy: The Military

The military is an American institution that enjoys higher levels of trust than most others, but that doesn't mean it has been totally removed from larger trends. The armed forces have been at the center of struggles for equality around race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity. And high profile events like foreign deployments and the withdrawal from Afghanistan continue to shape public perceptions of the military, even introducing some of the polarized partisanship that have defined other institutions. Join the John W. Kluge Center, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Brookings Institution for a conversation exploring how America sees its military today.
