In Episode 187 of The Fog of War and Humanity, host Rich Aertelli sits down with Army Reserve Colonel and veteran attorney Gary Port to explore the crossroads of military service and civilian life. From Gary’s Brooklyn‑born roots and unexpected path into the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, to his work defending soldiers at courts‑martial in Texas and prosecuting cases during Brooklyn’s crack‑era homicide surge, this conversation spans decades of service, law, and community.
Together they uncover:
- How a chance meeting with a JAG officer reshaped Gary’s career
- The highs and lows of defending soldiers far from home
- What combat medics and Medal of Honor recipients taught him about trauma, duty, and silence
- The challenges veterans face in family courts—and why every lawyer needs to understand PTSD, military pensions, and veterans’ treatment programs
Join us for an honest, wide‑ranging discussion on leadership, service, and the human cost of war—both on and off the battlefield.
