prise a woman with an engagement its a Rotten in dear you told and in a Way they should never thanks for the Short readers give their views on the hostage situation i read columns by James George will and others regarding the hostage situation in As All of they expressed their frustration Over the entire Epi but i was distressed by the recurrence of three words retribution and re who is saying this the victims or the terrorists i know that these terrorist attacks Are criminal acts carried out by bullies and but to react to them with an Eye for an Eye strategy will Only result in repeated retribution Over and Over certainly those who seek to further their causes through terror and hatred must be made responsible for their but re Venge has never dissuaded we should ask has America itself remained relatively free of terrorism while the rest of the world has been plagued by it is it because terrorists fear America As the strongest and most brutally oppressive nation in the world or could it be that they know that if they try to break our Laws they will be tried and imprisoned if it is publicity they seek they know they will get along with the shame and humiliation of a Public America is the great country that it is because of the respect our people have for its Laws and system of not because we move about the world and smash those who strike out at if we want people in this world to Deal with us in a civilized then we must Deal with them in and when they act in a Lawless manner then we should respond with the same due process with which we handle All such but most of All we must remember that to right fire with fire Means that a lot of innocent people will get 1st Charles Long Germany the hijacking of the Twa Airliner is an unfortunate situation and is absolutely into it was president reagans responsibility to quickly react and implement a plan to first retrieve hostages and to initiate Retalia tory measures that would definitely teach this sick faction of society a so they never will commit such an act by doing the government generates an pervading message to All sick Radical factions of the that you dont mess with the United the United states must be serious How Many More misfortunes and innocent lives taken will the president withstand How much More will be Toler ated before reacting the solution is to implement immediate the purpose of urinalysis testing what is the purpose of urinalysis testing drugs i dont understand Why taxpayers Money is used in such a i have seen representatives in a unit Tell unit personnel of upcoming urinalysis to give them indications of when to feel Safe using drugs and when to this occurs quite what effect does drinking vinegar have on test results Many soldiers find out of an upcoming test and use vinegar to com Bat the detection of the whole system is a waste of if the urinalysis testing is going to be effective at detecting drug a change certainly needs to if its not going to be fully Why use it at All withheld Stuttgart editors note William action fitness of fice of the Deputy chief of person he replies biochemical drug testing is a valuable tool to assist commanders in assessing the military and discipline of their drug testing has proved to be a very effective deterrent to drug All samples sent to army drug testing la Wiesbaden have been tested for the since the Overall the positive rate has declined from Over ii percent in Early 1983 to about 3 per cent in recent since the drug testing program was drug use has steadily de and Soldier performance has correspondingly ensuring the Readi Ness and military fitness of our army and the Well being of our individual soldiers More than justifies the existence of Bio chemical drug although Advance notification on up coming urinalysis tests May the policy is to conduct these tests on an unannounced if Advance notification this matter should be brought to the attention of your Chain of Advance notification May not help the drug since drugs vary considerably in How quickly they Are metabolized by the this variation depends Bolh on the individual and the the is stored in fatty and the body May excrete the metabolite Over a period of Days or weeks after the drug has been depending upon metabolism rates and amount of drug one sol Dier could have a negative result several Days after discontinuing smoking Marijuan while another Soldier could have a positive result several weeks after discontinuing there Are Many myths and much Misin formation about masking the presence of drugs in urine there is no scientific evidence to support these the use of vinegar will lower the pm of ones urine the testing methodology used at the Wiesbaden lab can detect he the metabolite regardless of pm Altera the users who have used vinegar and have not been detected Are mistaken in thinking that he vinegar or other schemes masked the presence of the existence of a High cutoff level in the confirmation process was the real reason they had a negative More sophisticated state of the Art equipment has been installed at the wies Baden drug testing lab which is capable of accurately detecting the presence of the in smaller in the near a larger percentage of abusers Are Likely to be confirmed just As South Carolina demo cratic Ernest Rollings has most recently suggested to bomb and literally blow Beirut off the face of the make the area just one big parking this action would definitely be a deterrent and a positive step in the right direction to ultimately reduce and inevitably eliminate such activity from occurring for quite some the president is reluctant to do so because he wants to protect Oil the president should first consider which is More crude Oil or lives of innocent american i will close by reminding the president and his illustrious administration that toleration of wrongdoing is As bad As the crime Isabella re Finmain Germany i find it galling that president Reagan the nation he will move mountains to find the killers of the americans in Al Sal during his How Many have died in Al Nicara and As yet not even a Pebble has been disturbed other than when new Graves Are dug for the i feel embarrassed to be a member of the strongest military establishment in the world and our president smiles and pats parents of murdered servicemen and women on the head and gives the same tired excuse and 1 think it is now Lime the United states of started killing a few we All know where they live and who they and All they deserve is a Bullet not to not
