Reported by the New York Post. High school student was able to contact the Pentagon to interview him.
In the photo published by the newspaper, Schiller held the stack of papers on which was pasted a sticker with the name of the head of the Pentagon and his phone number that said the high school student Teddy Fisher from Washington. Fisher kept the room and the picture was subsequently removed.
Fisher was able to contact Mattis, writing an SMS message, and take his 45-minute interview.
“Would you give an interview? By the way, your room has become available to the American public because of a leak! Have a good day!” — wrote student.
Mattis agreed to give an interview and called Fischer. During the meeting they discussed issues of foreign and domestic policy, as well as advice for future graduates of the senior classes.
“I’ve always tried to help students, because I think that we should help young people to go through that in this way we learned, so you can make your own mistakes, not those that we did,” said Mattis during a conversation with Fisher.
In addition, they discussed and some questions asked a high school student. For example, Mattis said that the former President Barack Obama would listen more to Secretary of state Hillary Clinton. He also expressed the view that the fight against extremism would be more effective if the US was paying the school fees of every child in Afghanistan, Syria and other countries.
“I think that ideology can be opposed to each other, showing people a better education and hope for the future, learning to get along with each other,” said Mattis.
