Interview with a Soldier

Here is an inteview of a soldier.

This interview is with a man who served in the military, was injured, returned home and willingly enlisted again, knowing full well that he may be called to duty again. The interviewer asks personal questions about the soldier’s history and why he chose to serve in the military. The soldier is very revealing in his answers and his morals are quickly revealed. Its encouraging to read the determination that this one soldier has for his country. It almost sounds as if he is speaking for an entire team or unit but really he is just speaking of himself, only one man. You can almost touch the spirit, dignity, and pride that he has invested in being a soldier. He virtually has allowed something terrible, such as war, into his life fully and accepts it as a challenge.

After reading this interview, there are still a few more questions I’d like to ask. He responded in much detail about himself and his experiences but I want to know a little bit more about his opinions on a larger scale.

Do you have any good memories of Iraq?
Do you think the citizens of the U.S. are well informed about the war now that you are back?
How is the overall morale of troops in Iraq?
