Explanation

A sentence is not complete when it has a dangling modifier.

This means that there is no action or subject in the sentence.

As a result, dangling modifiers occur due to wrong punctuation.

When you put a period in before the statement is complete, and then it will result in a fragment.

Further when writing a sentence while omitting one or 2 subject; you will be creating a fragment within that sentence.

Therefore in the given case, there is no subject.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
