I need a strong affective starting sentence to an introduction of an essay.
The topic is......
"Your country (wherever you live) should send troops to overseas conflicts".
I am FOR this topic all I need is a strong starting sentence.
Thanks heaps.
No sill answers.
 
I always like starting essays with a quote. Is this a research essay? If so, use a strong quote from one of your sources. If not, look in a quotations book...you might be able to find something that works there.

I don't know what your arguements will be, but here are a few that might work.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me; Shall be my brother." Shakespeare


It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts - for democracy.
- Woodrow Wilson

Your wealth is where your friends are.
- Plautus

Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
By Kahlil Gibran

Security is the priceless product of freedom. Only the strong can be secure, and only in freedom can men produce those material resources which can secure them from want at home and against aggression from abroad.
By B. E. Hutchinson

Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life's blood. But everyone has something to give.
By Barbara Bush

He that will not give some portion of his ease, his blood, his wealth, for others' good, is a poor, frozen churl.
By Joanna Baillie

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Help your brother's boat across and your own will reach the shore.
By Hindu Proverb

The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men; and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
By Walter Scott


By Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
Something along the lines of freedom isn't free. Cliche but effective. Also something that appeals to the fears people have about terrorists/war on drugs/communism, etc, or appealing to people's morals on human rights issues (genocide, mass rape, etc). And/or something about how the U.S. is the most powerful country in the world and since we have the resources, we should protect people in other countries who need our help.

Put it all together to give it your own unique writing style and to make it reflect what you believe in, and it will be good.
