Issues paper proposal

The topic that I have chosen to write for my issues paper is about the recent degrading of the ethical and moral standards of the Military. I believe that throughout the last decade that the integrity of the United States Military has fallen, and I think this is beginning to have an effect on not only our country but on the world.

What makes me think this? What proof do I have? In 2006 Marines were caught in Iraq killing civilians in cold blood. This outraged the people and lowered their respect for members of the Armed Forces. This was only the beginning too. Just last year the "Don't ask, Don't tell" legislation was repealed, allowing all gays and lesbions to openly serve in the military. While many civilians think this is a good thing, it has caused discomfort between many soldiers and within the barracks. Also just earlier this year, Marines were caught peeing, yes peeing, on dead Afghan bodies. As members of the military you are supposed to serve with honor and dignity, to be an example to all. However this isn't what is happening.... The worlds view on the US Armed Forces is degrading, and this is unacceptable. I care about this topic so much because I have just begun my military career, and do not want it corrupted or tainted by other members actions and increasingly lowered standards. I want to be an example and serve my country as a soldier in the United States Army.

favorite movie and peer review changes

1) The biggest change i would do, is merge my two paragraphs of repetition into one, and then write a paragraph on the line, "He also wants the audience to  develop a sense of urgency and importance by connecting through this constant use of repetition."
2) In my simile paragraph, I will do more analysis focused around imagery.
3) Replace a couple of words that I used in my essay, for example the word "coerce" sounds kinda negative and would better be replaced with convinced.

My favorite move is: WARRIOR (2011). period. watch it.

O thou art my love,

I wish thou wert here with me
but for thine safety run thy away from me,
lest thy be speedily dragged down to hell with me,
Dwight's constant bickering and enormous ego
would quickly crumble Lucifer's domain,
O that I might be with thine, our love eternal
For thou hath the face of an angel, beauty shining so brightly
may hast with thy here, we might end Schrute's reign of terror
If thou wert here with me, we might place his stapler in jello,
pop his fitness ball, or relocate his desk.
Surely he cannot withstand our love.
Wheresoe'er thou goest, I wilt follow
neither man nor devil can stop me.
People shall tremble at the magnitude of our love,
Bards will write a song about what we share.
O that I might be with thee.

Thine husband and lover,
Jim Halpert

Dear Judge Harper,

I am addressing you because of a speeding ticket on February 7th, 2012. This is my fourth speeding ticket, and my driver's license has been taken away. I am truly sorry for breaking the law and take full responsibility for my actions. I promise to obey the law in the future. I am willing to go to defensive driving school. I need my drivers license in order to maintain my current work and school schedule. Please take my proposal into consideration.

Sincerely
Kenny Nelson

Dear Mom,

Hey Mom, just wanted to say hi. So pretty much I have been working and studying. College is pretty tough. Anyways, I might have gotten a fourth speeding ticket, and my drivers license might be on probation. Did I mention I love you? Cause I do. So how are things going back home? I hope things are going well!

Love,
Kenny

Fellow Classmates,

Everyone here speeds right? I mean who wouldn't, when your brother finally lets you drive his 450 horsepower Dodge Viper. That beauty is incredibly fast, its hard not to speed! Because of that I got a speeding ticket, which lead to my drivers license being taken away... that's a little harsh, don't you think? Everyone at one point has broken the law, my drivers license doesn't need to be suspended for speeding... I'm no felon or criminal, I have lived a good life, and plan on continuing to obey the law. Help me out here.

The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.
