Bryan Suits
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bryan Suits is a conservative talk radio host on 570 KVI in Seattle, Washington. He is also a member of the Washington Army National Guard 1st Battalion 161 Infantry. He has served in Operation Desert Storm, Bosnia, and the Iraq war. While in Iraq he occasionally called into the Kirby Wilbur Show and reported on his experiences. He was also a contributor to the Iraq election log on the BBC news website [1]. He is the only talk show host in America to have been a soldier in Iraq. Lt. Suits also collected rubber boots from his radio show listeners and distributed them to Iraqi children in what became known as "Boots for Suits".
Lt. Suits received a Purple Heart in early 2005 during is last tour of duty. Upon his arrival back from his tour of duty in Iraq, he claimed that his ballot for the November 2004 general election, which he said was mailed to his wife from Iraq, was never counted [2]. His claim became part of the public debate surrounding the contested 2004 Washington gubernatorial election.
[edit] "Bryan Suits Show"
The "Bryan Suits Show" runs Monday to Friday from during the prime drive time hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 PST on KVI following Sean Hannity. The topics on the show range from local news to kicker stories to the War on Terror. Bryan usually employs his sense of humor on all topics. He refers to the last hour of his show as "The Iraq Block" and devotes it mostly to discussion on the war in Iraq. It is in this hour that his experience in Iraq helps put some news items in perspective.
On March 6, 2003, an Iraqi caller named "Mohammed" confronted United For Peace and Justice spokesperson Andrea Buffa on Bryan's show. The clip was posted on the KVI website and quickly circulated around the internet.
