This is a Media Roots Radio interview conducted by Abby and Robbie Martin with two active duty soldiers in the army: Malcolm and Yossarian. Malcolm is a soldier enlisted in the US Army and serves as an aviation mechanic. Yossarian is an Apache helicopter pilot and military aviator in the US Army. They are both stationed abroad right now but were gracious enough to take some time out of their schedule to sit down on Skpe for an interview with Media Roots. They speak out why they enlisted and give their perspective on Bradley Manning, US foreign policy and 9/11 while expressing deep concern for the future.

They are also both contributing writers for Media Roots. Check out their op-ed writings in the Soldier's Corner of the site.
