John Napier will race for the U.S. in Vancouver. And he might represent his nation in a different manner after the Games. Shortly after being selected to the U.S. Olympic bobsled team Sunday, the 23-year-old from Schenectady, N.Y., has inquired about joining his National Guard unit in Afghanistan. Napier is a sergeant with the Vermont National Guard, which earlier this month had more than 200 troops head to Indiana for training before deployment overseas. Napier has no idea if he’ll be sent overseas. “It’s not up to me,” he said. “But I’d like to serve my purpose in the Army.” The Associated Press; Getty Images
