Ryan Conklin, from "The Real World" to real war in Iraq

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Hour 2
Many young veterans and members of the Individual Ready Reserve have gotten the dreaded call ordering them back to war. But RYAN A. CONKLIN of Gettysburg is the only one to have that moment filmed and broadcast to millions by MTV. When Ryan, then 23 years old, got that call in 2008, he was being filmed around-the-clock as a cast member on MTV's "The Real World: Brooklyn," their first cast member who had seen war. MTV followed Ryan's 2nd tour in Iraq for a critically praised special, "Return to Duty."
