The host believes it is important to support veterans by highlighting their stories and non-profits that genuinely focus on helping those transitioning from traumatic service experiences.

“Tom and his wife Jen run the Allse Secure Foundation and they do not budge, man. Their number one goal is to help prior service people who are getting out who are who've been through traumatic events and they just want to see people succeed.”

He argues that the VA should focus on transitioning veterans out of temporary housing programs rather than keeping them there indefinitely.

“I believe that there's a lot more veterans out there that need that voucher. So move that veteran into that housing situation. give him the training that he needs and move him out so the next one can come in and get that voucher”

Engaging in humanitarian missions provides veterans with a renewed sense of purpose and structure.

“it helps them scratch that itch a little bit being around other veterans doing something that's you know doing a mission that's worthwhile helping people”

Ken Harba defends the VA as a vital institution that continues to provide critical care for veterans, despite its flaws and political attacks.

“as someone who gets my healthcare from the VA and as someone who has a lot of buddies and I'm looking at some of them right now who get our healthcare from the VA. Look, it's not a perfect institution and it is under attack right now as is every part of the American government. But the VA, it saved ”

Veterans who struggle with substance abuse can successfully change the world if they are helped to find a new purpose.

“you take a veteran who is struggling with alcoholism or addiction and you find them purpose bro they're going to change the world I mean fast too you just got to help and find that purpose”

Gary Sinise believes that non-profit organizations are essential for providing necessary support to veterans that the government cannot fully fulfill alone.

“If there were no nonprofits in the military and first responder community, right, that are trying to fill the gaps and help, we'd have a catastrophe.”

He advocates for the importance of life insurance for veterans, especially those previously denied coverage due to service-related conditions.

“these folks that just the ones that I know I know there's a ton more of them out there if I can help provide the education that they need and show them that no you can get protection for your family because that's what a lot of people don't understand”

The current administration has damaged the Department of Veterans Affairs by implementing mass staff cuts and mandating counterproductive, rigid workplace requirements.

“We have seen over the last few months the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is the the department that is responsible for this safety and well-being of of those who've served their country. We've seen it torn to shreds.”
