Technique Post - 11/11/2007

So I've been dwelling on the nostalgia that is the armed services lately - mostly because tomorrow is Veteran's Day, and yesterday was the 232nd anniversary of the Marine Corps. I am proud to be a part of the tradition carried on in the Armed Forces of the United States, specifically the Marine Corps. On that theme, I am going to put together a WATCO, enthymeme, implicit assumption, etc.:

WATCO: What are the consequences of lowering standards of training into the Marine Corps on the quality of Marines in the Corps?

Enthymeme: Lowering the standards of recruit and candidate training into the Marine Corps would drastically damage the quality of the Marines in the Corps because lowering the standards of basic training would lower the minimum level of personal expectations for individual Marines.

Implicit Assumption: Anything that lower the minimum level of personal expectations for individual Marines will drastically damage the quality of the Marines in the Corps.

Thanks - Ciao.
