Like a lot of former West Point athletes, the answer to that question for Chris Spatola is: Baghdad.

Spatola was an all-rookie pick in the 1998-99 season and went on to be Army's captain, capping his collegiate playing career by being selected second team All-Patriot League in his junior and senior seasons.

These days Spatola, who is married to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's daughter, he is a captain in the Army, in charge of a unit tasked with protecting two historical buildings in Iraq.

John Feinstein caught up with Spatola, and tells his story in today's Washington Post.
