In this episode of the H21 Southern Branch, Austin Chapter, of the Combat Infantrymen's Association, we take an interview with John Lovett, the "hmaguy"–a retired Army veteran and military historian who is now a Screenwriter, military advisor and consultant to the Media industry, especially motion pictures.

He has worked on several feature films, including Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbor–as well as some documentaries in the History Channel.

In this episode, hear how he tries to ensure that the Media portrays the plight and role of the combat infantryman and other services in the motion pictures or other media presented to audiences worldwide.

He currently has a podcast called The Military and the Media, which is available for free subscription at the iTunes store.

John also tries to assist veterans who are interested in pursuing careers in the entertainment industry with advice and counsel in training or by helping them to make the necessary contacts to become performers as talent, or to work on productions in all sorts of roles (as you will hear in the audio podcast).

We thank John for his time in helping to show us how he is fighting for the accuracy and authenticity of the portrayal of the Armed Forces–especially the combat infantryman.
