Bill Riley enlisted in the Air Force in the Cold War in the mid-80s, when U.S.-Soviet relations were still pretty icy. He pursued a career in military intelligence, serving in Colorado, Kuwait and everywhere in between. Riley published his memoirs from his service in the book, Baghdaddy: How Saddam Hussein Taught Me To Be A Better Father and he joins Idaho Matters to talk about his time in the military.
