Podcast Description – Episode 188: The Fog of War and Humanity with Richard Acritelli and guest Gary Port (Part 2) | hmTv
In Part 2 of this compelling conversation, host Richard Acritelli welcomes back Gary Port—Army Reserve Ambassador, attorney, and advocate for veterans—for an in-depth look at the legal, social, and emotional realities facing American service members past and present. From the nuanced definitions of what it means to be a "veteran" to navigating benefits, elder care, and the state’s underutilized support systems, Gary breaks down the critical issues that impact veterans' lives long after they’ve returned home.
The episode also explores the evolution of military recruitment, the Army’s response to declining enlistment numbers post-COVID, and the innovative programs reshaping how we engage future soldiers—especially Gen Z. With stories from the front lines of law, policy, and public service, Gary brings humor, humility, and clarity to a topic too often buried under bureaucracy.
Whether you’re a veteran, a military family member, or someone who just cares about those who served, this episode offers eye-opening insights and real-world advice straight from the source.
Listen now and discover how the fog of war lifts when humanity steps in.
