Ep. 376 — The Fog of War and Humanity with Richard Acritelli & Montgomery “Monty” Granger (Part 3)
Podcast Description
In Part 3 of this gripping series, Montgomery “Monty” Granger takes us beyond Guantanamo and into the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan — where chaos, morality, and duty collide every single day.
Hosted by Richard Acritelli, this conversation looks unflinchingly at what it means to serve in war while refusing to surrender your humanity. Monty reflects on detainee care in active combat environments, the moral tension of saving lives that might later threaten American soldiers, and the impossible pressure placed on the men and women in uniform.
He reminds us that behind every policy decision are real people — medics, chaplains, MPs, nurses — doing the right thing when no one is watching.
Topics explored include:
- detainee operations beyond Guantanamo
- life-and-death decision-making in combat zones
- the emotional burden soldiers quietly carry
- why professionalism and compassion matter — even in war
- lessons leaders and civilians must not ignore
This episode doesn’t sensationalize. It humanizes — and it asks us to think honestly about the cost of conflict, the weight of responsibility, and the character needed to walk through the fog and not lose yourself along the way.
