Interview with a Vet: Lucas Siegel, 91W Combat Medic
Since we started SOLDIERS, I’ve gotten a number of requests from readers for more information about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead of rehashing Wikipedia, I thought it would be best to hear it directly from those who served, so I started “Interview with a Vet”, which can be found under the “About” tab on the SOLDIERS navigation bar.
Lucas Seigel, before he was Site Editor for Newsarama, was a combat medic who served a year in Iraq in 2003-2004. He graciously agreed to share his story with us.
If you want to learn about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, forget the press. Listen to a Vet.

















Lucas Siegel tells his story and makes Soldiers all the more real. Medic, writer and storyteller, he is quite a guy. Thanks for your service Buddy!
