NPR : American Soldiers Explain Decision to Re-Up NPR : American Soldiers Explain Decision to Re-Up

KRCC interviews Fort Carson soldiers to find out why they reenlist in "NPR : American Soldiers Explain Decision to Re-Up". No surprises:

Soldiers who re-enlist, returning for tours of duty in Iraq, often cite patriotism, duty, and the need to protect their homeland from terrorism when asked why they've re-upped. They also describe being part of a "committed brotherhood to defend the constitution and the people who cannot defend themselves".

I should note that the CC in KRCC is for Colorado College, where I got my undergraduate degree. The station and the school appear to have gone their separate ways since I graduated, but it is still the predominent NPR station in the southern half of Colorado.
