A Letter from Iraq: Sgt Michael Levesque

The US Army's top General says the all volunteer force in Iraq is being strained by demands for protection and training..

General Peter Schoomaker says more reserves have to be called up.

He also wants to add more active-duty troops.

Meanwhile, Iraq's vice president is calling on the White House to set a timetable to withdraw American troops.

Stuck in the middle of this debate are the US troops, like those of the 36-43rd Company of the New Hampshire National Guard.

In our continuing weekly conversation with the men and women of the 36-43rd, NHPR's Jon Greenberg spoke with Sergeant Michael Levesque about life at Camp Victory.
