editorial from the New York Times called "Presidential Children Don't
Belong in Battle." It was written by John S. D. Eisenhower, son of
President Eisenhower. In this editorial, Eisenhower explains why the
children of Presidents and Vice Presidents should not serve in the
military while their parent is in office.
His reasons are that the President is busy enough without
worrying about their son or daughter, the soldier would be a prime
taget and endanger other soldiers, and they could be used to blackmail
the President if they are captured.
This was a very good argument because there were no logical
fallicies and there were good examples for support. Also, Eisenhower
has personal experience on this topic, because he served in the
military when his father was President, which he now realizes was a
bad idea.

An interesting article, but make sure you break down the editorial in greater detail and comment on the various aspects of the argument using the terminology from "Everything's An Argument."
