Podcast Title: The Fog of War and Humanity
Episode 273: Col. James C. Brennan, USMC (Ret.) – Part 1
Hosted by: Richard Acritelli
Produced by: hmTv
Description:
In this powerful first installment of a two-part conversation, historian and host Richard Acritelli sits down with Colonel James C. Brennan, USMC (Ret.) to explore a lifetime shaped by service, discipline, and leadership.
From his roots in Brooklyn and Long Island to commanding Marines around the world, Colonel Brennan shares how faith, family, and education forged his path to the U.S. Marine Corps. He reflects on his grandfather’s World War II service—from North Africa to Anzio—and how that legacy inspired his own journey through Parris Island, officer training, and a distinguished military career that spanned continents and decades.
The discussion moves beyond tactics and titles, delving into the deeper human side of military life—the lessons of integrity, adaptability, and responsibility that define true leadership both in and out of uniform.
A story of courage, continuity, and character, The Fog of War and Humanity reminds us that behind every uniform is a human being molded by history, duty, and heart.
