Ep. 384: The Fog of War and Humanity — Sgt. Timothy Gene Molnar, Part 3
In this powerful continuation of his story, Sgt. Timothy Gene Molnar opens up about life on the road in Iraq, where every convoy meant uncertainty, discipline, and a constant pulse of adrenaline. Tim walks us through near-misses with IEDs and RPGs, the challenge of staying alert in brutal desert conditions, and the strange mix of fear and focus that becomes second nature in a combat zone.
But the conversation goes deeper. Tim shares the reality of coming home: the quiet that felt too quiet, the anger that surprised him, the habits that crept in, and the long road toward counseling, healing, and finding purpose again. With honesty and humility, he talks about PTSD, the importance of support, and why veterans should never feel ashamed to ask for help.
Host Richard Acritelli guides the conversation with insight and respect, highlighting the sacrifices made by service members and the human cost that continues long after the uniforms come off. It’s raw, reflective, and hopeful — the kind of conversation that reminds us why listening matters.
