One thought on “Problem Memo on Transitioning Veterans”
I believe that the writer has made a very good case for the seriousness of the problem with this memo. The evidence that I found most compelling was the explanation of a modern soldier’s survivability rate as compared to WWII’s and the report on the TAP program which found it to be “mismanaged, lacking oversight, and in need of valuable feedback and evaluation.”
A public that understands the problem is vital in order to gain support for such an issue, this first piece of evidence provided a simple way of saying that because medical equipment and procedures have improved drastically, the chances of our soldiers surviving battles and making it home has improved accordingly.
The writer, after explaining why the situation has become so dire, then addresses the issue from the perspective of the soldier who has served his/her country; the system for support after military service is messy, disjointed, and ineffective at achieving its goals. Additionally, the evidence that the writer chose to use is up-to-date and includes a variety of reliable sources.
