Take a position on this statement: President Obama’s downsizing of the military is
dangerous in light of the global war on terrorism. Then
write arguments in which you introduce your claim
(position), distinguish it from opposing claims, and
create an organization that logically sequences the
claim, counterclaims, reasons, and evidence. Develop
your claim and any counterclaims fairly and thoroughly,
using data and evidence, while also pointing out the
strengths and limitations of both sides.
