U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jon Stine of Lansing, who served in southern Iraq in 2003, said he wanted Eastern High School students to know what his experiences were during the war.
Things like how was the food? ("Terrible"). What did the scenery look like? ("Beautiful").
"The kids I was talking to, they weren't interested in (whether the war was) right, wrong or indifferent," Stine said. "They wanted to know how we felt when we left (to go to war)." snip
Dustin Colosky, 16, said he plans on joining either the Army or the Marines when he graduates high school, adding that he has no qualms about serving in Iraq, if asked.
"I think that if the government is telling us to do it then it must be something that is at least somewhat right," he said.
"We went and blew up their country. We might as well stay and fix it."
