I. When the program first
began it was a military issue, but with
the
recent anthrax contaminated mail in our country it will
more
than likely become an issue for the entire nation, and when
it
does we may have some of the same concerns.
A.
Problems that cause mistrust
1. Misinformation
= mistrust
a. Safety questioned
b. Testing questioned (Maier, The Anthrax Issue,
Insight on the News)
2. Military not
taking responsibility = mistrust (Koenig, Refuse Niks May Have History on their
Side, U.S. Medicine)
a. Own
body decision (Callander, The Anthrax Issue, Air Force Magazine)
b. Best interest of individual
B. Concerns that
cause mistrust
Transition: now that we have looked at the problem, let’s
move on to my solution.

(Brakelight: Now
that you’ve been informed about the problems connected to the possible
solutions, I hope you can see the need to perfect this essential program not
only for the military’s well being but for our own as well. What can we as individuals do?)

CONCLUSION
I. I know it doesn’t seem like we as civilians have much say
in the military, but I
hope you understand you do have a
voice and that you will use it to help shape the future
of our military and our nation.
