Nick, You have been had by an urban legend. In other words, this is pure and utter BS. The interview never happened. Check out http://www.snopes2.com/military/reinwald.htm for more information.
Also I did a search on the NPR site for that interview. Unless the interview happened before 1990 it did not happen. Here's the response from the NPR search engine: Your search for "Reinwald" matched 0 out of 94675 documents. You should check things out a bit more before blindly relaying an urban legend. larry -- Larry C.
