W: Good afternoon. I''m just sitting here talking to Matt. He is a marine in the United States Marines and he was in the war in Iraq. Matt, how did you come to join the marines?
M: Well, Julia, I was just looking for something different, and it seemed like a good idea.
W: And how old were you when you joined?
M: I was twenty years old.
W: How long have you been in?
M: Three years and ten months.
W: And you''re getting out soon and you want to go and study.
M: Correct.
W: What do you want to study?
M: I want to study American history.
W: That''s interesting? You''re against the war. How many... um... how many people in the services are against the war, do you think, about what percent?
M: It''s tough to put a number on it, but it''s definitely higher than the public''s perception.
W: Would you say more than half?
M: Yes.
W: A lot more? I know it''s a hard question. I mean how can you know? You''ve got to talk to everybody.
M: About half, everyone has doubts about this war.
W: It''s a terrible war, isn''t?
M: Yes. Thousands of people died in the war, most of them were commoners.
W: I''m terribly sorry to hear that. Okay, thanks for talking to me, Matt. See you.
M: Have a good day.
