The Right Choice
Who would you want as your platoon sergeant, Clinton or Trump?
In the US, historically the military vote has gone Republican. But this election, many historical patterns have not held true.
Also, a Sikh American speaks with the man who killed his brother for wearing a turban, and two Honduran brothers face a shared problem, but make opposite choices. Plus, we try a new veggie burger on the market, and learn why a college professor in the US joined a rebel army in the Horn of Africa. Lastly, a taxi driver in Washington DC releases music he recorded almost 40 years ago in Addis Ababa.
