"The Hardest of the Hardcore"
We just read an essay by a student named Dylan Fujitani. The essay is titled “The Hardest of the Hardcore”. This essay was about hired contractors that are employed by the U.S. government. He explains how many of these mercenaries, hired soldiers, are overseas in the war. This student does a great job in explaining the issue and stating the facts with legitimate evidence from credible sources. He discusses six different problems that concerns his issue. All six are thoroughly researched and are logical. Although he provides good claims and evidence to back up his claim, he does not really provide any solutions. He simply states that there are problems but that just gets his point across like an informative essay. He does not propose a solution that could work. Overall, I enjoyed reading the essay because I actually learned a lot about our government and its military secrets.

I definately agree with you. There was not substantial solutions proposed, so it left me, and it appears you as well, thinking..so what? I also agree that it was informative and I did learn some things that I previously didn't know. I think he went for the surprise factor, too.
I really liked his essay and you could tell he did substantial research, however I agree with you on the fact that he did not give any solutions. I was so surprised by this whole issue because as a reader, I got a lot of new information which makes him more credible. The problem with this issue is what could an average Joe like you or I do about this situation. To be realistic, I highly doubt we could make an impact in the government to change this. Maybe that's why he didn't provide any solutions?
