He has served in Operation Desert Storm, Bosnia, and the Iraq war. While in Iraq he occasionally called into the Kirby Wilbur Show and reported on his experiences. He was also a contributor to the Iraq election log on the BBC news website [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4201047.stm BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iraq election log contributors ] ] . He is a one several talk show hosts in America to have been a soldier in Iraq. Lt. Suits also collected rubber boots from his radio show listeners and distributed them to Iraqi children in what became known as "Boots for Suits".

Lt. Suits received a Purple Heart in early 2005 during his last tour of duty. Upon his arrival back from his tour of duty in Iraq, he claimed that his ballot for the November 2004 general election, which he said was mailed to his wife from Iraq, was never counted [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20050407082751/http://www.soundpolitics.com/archives/004136.html Sound Politics: That was the wrong ballot to "misplace" ] ] . His claim became part of the public debate surrounding the contested 2004 Washington gubernatorial election.

"Bryan Suits Show"

The "Bryan Suits Show" ran Monday to Friday from during the prime drive time hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 PST on KVI following Sean Hannity. The topics on the show ranged from local news to kicker stories to the War on Terror. Bryan usually employed his sense of humor on all topics. He referred to the last hour of his show as "The Iraq Block" and devoted it mostly to discussion on the war in Iraq. It is in this hour that his experience in Iraq helped put some news items in perspective.

On March 6 2003, an Iraqi caller named "Mohammed" confronted United for Peace and Justice spokesperson Andrea Buffa on Bryan's show. The clip was posted on the KVI website and quickly circulated around the Internet. However, some individuals noted that the individual did not have an Iraqi Arab accent.

Bryan's show was cancelled by KVI on November 9th, 2007. Some listeners complained that November 9th was the Friday preceding the Veteran's Day holiday.

Bryan's show was replaced by the KVI show "The Commentators" with John Carlson and Ken Schram, formerly aired from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon.

Bryan periodically filled in as a guest host from 7-10p following the controversial removal of John Ziegler in December 2007 on KFI AM 640 of Los Angeles.

Bryan announced 12/31/2007 that he has accepted a position from 7-10p following John and Ken January 2008 on KFI AM 640 of Los Angeles.
