Classroom cannot subside memories of war for student-turned-Marine Scott Spaulding; senior flies to Iraq on Towson's first day of fall courses
For Scott Spaulding, enrolling in Arabic 101 last fall was a no-brainer.
Spaulding, 22, a senior political science and international relations major, was back in Towson after spending seven months with the U.S. Marine Corps in Iraq.
As a corporal in the 4th Civil Affairs Group, Spaulding worked with Iraqis to rebuild and secure Fallujah, a hotbed for insurgents west of Baghdad.
Knowing he would redeploy to Iraq this fall, Spaulding thought he would benefit from a semester of Arabic. But as he sat in Linthicum Hall, he couldn't concentrate on the material. He kept having flashbacks to a day in Fallujah when he helped place the remains of dead Iraqis in body bags.
