Overseas Contingency Operation: Quick Check America’s Diapers
I. Introduction:
· The Obama administration has decided to no longer describe the current war as the “War on Terror,” but has decided to refer to it as the “Overseas Contingency Operation.” According to dictionary.com, contingency is the “dependence on chance or on the fulfillment of a condition; uncertainty; fortuitousness.” The new title for America’s current situation is cowardly, belittling towards the citizens, and an attempt to erase history.
II. Body Paragraph 1: Cowardly
· I would like to think that the United States had more confidence, especially when there are soldier’s lives in danger.
III. Body Paragraph II: Babying U.S citizens
· There’s a difference between cautiously wording phrases and fabricating phrases in order to try to make them less harsh
IV. Body Paragraph III: Forget about Bush
· Appears that Obama wants to not forgive, but forget the Bush administration
· Ban on phrases like:
o “War on Terror”
o “Enemy Combatant”
V. Body Paragraph IV: My Opinion
· Reiterate how Americans are being “babied”
VI. Conclusion
