In this segment, Amy Marxkors and John Hancock speak with Cormac Smith, the director of the Veterans Law Clinic at Washington University in St. Louis. Cormac explains how the clinic helps veterans with discharge upgrades and correcting military records. He shares vital statistics, noting that between 1980 and 2015, nearly a million veterans were impacted by less-than-honorable discharges, which may prevent them from accessing essential benefits. Cormac emphasizes the importance of legal assistance in improving the success rate of veterans seeking to change their discharge characterization, allowing them to secure the benefits they rightfully deserve.
