Title	Oral history interview with Gulaid Ismail recorded 2007 Jun. 15
Description	Interview conducted by Jane Natoli. Guliad Ismail enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves after September 11th, because he believed in the cause. He was activated in 2006, and sent to training at Twenty-nine Palms, in San Diego, for three months of desert training before being deployed to Fallujah, Iraq. While in Iraq Ismail’s unit was responsible for policing the area and keeping the peace. He describes how the marines would help the Iraqi civilians and children, by giving them supplies and training. However, the children still called them the “boogie-men” because they would go into people’s houses at night, undetected to capture the enemy. There were 11 casualties, and countless wounded in Ismail’s unit, due to sniper fire, and tactics like car-bombings. After six and half months in Fallujah, Ismail was sent back to the United States, where he was sent to San Diego for demobilization. He arrived back in Connecticut in November of 2006 and returned to CCSU to finish his education on the G.I. Bill. Ismail describes the influence that his service has had on his thinking about war. As of the date of the interview he was still a member of the Marine Corps reserves.
