Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kadarusman is one of the few people of Indonesian descent who have a career in the United States military, and even fewer in terms of rank who have entered the middle officer level. Bill Kadarusman began his military career from the lowest rank. His desire to become a soldier had been strong since he was in junior high school in Indonesia. After graduating from college in America, his dream of becoming a soldier came true even though he had to go through the private route. His first assignment was to serve on the battlefield in Iraq. Every week, the location where he was assigned there was attacked by two to three rockets – not to mention dealing with riots and killings in prison. ---------------------------------- Visit our website ???? https://www.voaindonesia.com Follow VOA on other social media accounts: Instagram: / voaindonesia Facebook: / voaindonesia Twitter: / voaindonesia The VOA Indonesia YouTube channel presents the latest news from around the world, especially news from America.
