Robert McGovern traded his shoulder pads for legal briefs more than a decade ago. He prosecuted drug dealers while working in the office of Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau. On September 11, 2001, he was in lower Manhattan when the Twin Towers fell. After working the pile at Ground Zero, McGovern asked to be mobilized from his Army Reserve duty to active duty. First sent to Afghanistan, where he advised battlefield commanders on legal rules of engagement, he then went to Iraq to prosecute terrorist suspects, and was assigned as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army's 18th Airborne Corps. As a JAG McGovern helped prosecute the notorious case of Sergeant Hasan Akbar, accused of killing two army comrades in Kuwait. He returned from both tours convinced that Americans needed to hear another side of the war on terrorism-the side he saw firsthand. Here is his amazing, true story.
