The second Citizenship Symposium session I went to was called "Citizen Soldiers and Global Warriors: Challenges of Iraq." Scott Ritter was the presenter of this session. Scott Ritter is an American Patriot. He was a Chief Weapons Inspector and was in the Marine Corps. He is also an author and is from New York. He told us that he would first talk to us and then he would flip it around and let us direct questions to him. "Without debate, dialog, and discussion we have nothing," Scott tells us. He really focused on what it meant to be a citizen, a soldier, a citizen soldier, to be global, a warrior, and a global warrior. Each at their separate times were explained with great detail rhetorical questions and an expressive voice. He emphasized the phrase "We the people" a lot. That phrase is from the preamble. He told us that the constitution was for "We the people" not for anyone else. "I love my country," Scott says near the end of his presentation, and I believe him and he was greatly appreciated for coming to Keene State College.
