Afghan_small Five years ago, the September 11th terrorist attacks were a call to service for many. This week on War News Radio, we speak to a trio of soldiers who experienced the attacks firsthand. These three now find themselves deployed in Iraq. And, we take a look at the numbers game in Iraq. In war, sometimes things don't add up. Finally, we broaden our sights, exploring at another conflict in the Middle East. A new college student tells us about his life at back home, in Afghanistan, and about the danger that brought him halfway around the world. These stories, plus the week's news, from War News Radio.
