A Letter from Iraq: Sgt Kevin Ballentine

By Mark Bevis on Friday, November 24, 2006.

By most accounts, these past several months have been some of the deadliest of the Iraq war.

Since the US invasion 3 and a half years ago, more than 28 hundred US soldiers have died.

And the United Nations is reporting that in October alone more than 37 hundred Iraqis were killed.

But the Iraqi government rejects those numbers as inflated.

The men and women of New Hampshire's National Guard are somewhat removed from the day to day violence wracking that country.

The 150 members of the 36-43rd company are assigned duty at a detention center outside of Baghdad.

On Friday's New Hampshire Public Radio has been checking in with the troops of the 36-43rd to see how they are getting along so far from home.

Today, NHPR's Mark Bevis speaks with Sgt Kevin Ballentine.
