Duty, Honor, Country- Excerpt 1
General Westmoreland, General Grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the Corps!
...You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who
hold the nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a
million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty,
Honor, Country.
This does not mean that you are war mongers.
On the contrary, the soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: "Only the dead have seen the end of war."
The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished, tone and tint. They have gone glimmering through
the dreams of things that were. Their memory is one of wondrous beauty, watered by tears, and coaxed and caressed by the smiles of
yesterday. I listen vainly, but with thirsty ears, for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille, of far drums beating the long roll. In
my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

Every Man A King- Excerpt 2
..Now, my friends, if you were off on an island where there were 100 lunches, you could not let one man eat up the hundred lunches, or
take the hundred lunches and not let anybody else eat any of them. If you did, there would not be anything else for the balance of the
people to consume.
So, we have in America today, my friends, a condition by which about 10 men dominate the means of activity in at least 85 percent of the
activities that you own. They either own directly everything or they have got some kind of mortgage on it, with a very small percentage to
be excepted. They own the banks, they own the steel mills, they own the railroads, they own the bonds, they own the mortgages, they own
the stores, and they have chained the country from one end to the other, until there is not any kind of business that a small, independent
man could go into today and make living, and there is not any kind of business that an independent man can go into and make any money
to buy an automobile with; and they have finally and gradually and steadily eliminated everybody from the fields in which there is a living
to be made, and still they have got little enough sense to think they ought to be able to get more business out of it anyway.
If you reduce a man to the point where he is starving to death and bleeding and dying, how do you expect that man to get hold of any
money to spend with you? It is not possible. Then, ladies and gentlemen, how do you expect people to live, when the wherewith cannot be
had by the people?

In the real world, feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. he came to consider a company “honest” if its payment rate was above 90 percent. he considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent “annoying but tolerable.” if a company habitually paid below 80 percent, feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one: the cost of bagels has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the year. unfortunately, the number of bagels that disappear without being paid for has also gone up. don’t let that continue. i don’t imagine that you would teach your children to cheat, so why do it yourselves? the excerpt serves as which type of support for the authors’ argument? a claim an example a conclusion a counterclaim
