Letters readers in Turkey comment on ugly american we appreciate the recent writer s social consciousness As related in a recent edition of the stars and stripes and with great interest we read his opinion of the recent incident in pm a. Turkey. For the most part we concur with the writer s criticisms of the ugly american  How Ever this particular Case demands special attention from those of us who serve Wilh the individual. We both american air Force and army personnel do not feel Dis graced by the Serviceman s behaviour. Al though his actions created this unfortunate situation we sympathize with his present condition and we earnestly desire to Illus trate some of our unique problems. American forces in Germany Are unaware of the stringent nato regulations governing troops stationed in Turkey and other mideastern countries. We arc under enormous pressures with none of the usual social diversions open to any other service member stationed abroad  Western style entertainment Freedom of movement Public display of affection not to mention Freedom of speech. What has authority got to do with Brash and irresponsible be Havior Are you suggesting that the Secu Rity police keep track of All people who have had a bad Day at work and put them under House arrest for their own Good one person s actions arc not necessarily a reflection of our communal Alti Ludo. Instead of criticising other people s in maturities we need to exert ourselves in be a positive influence on those around us. Next time Don t Bury your head in the Sand like an Ostrich every time you arc embarrassed by another american s actions. In Stead take every Opportunity to hold your head up and strive to exemplify your own ideals. Being All we can be and Len disgraced in Izmir most of us stationed in Turkey have been screened for a certain level of career Matu Rity. The restrictions imposed upon us by the turkish government prohibit All those luxuries that Northern european Scricc members take for granted such As Atn to and radio. Western concerts and no travel restrictions. Being on the far end of the cafes circuit we suffer with limited by supplies Back ordered clothing sales put dated movies As Well As water ration ing limited medical support and unavailability of telephones. Also Many of the Sites in Turkey arc Remote with unaccompanied hours prevailing. Is it any wonder that there is the tendency to relieve frustrations and boredom Wilh alcohol we do not condone alcohol As a release nor arc we seeking to excuse his behaviour bul we feel thai All the factors should be considered before a judgment is cast no one is condemning him Here in Izmir. In i Stead we Are pulling All our Energy toward Dot a.  supporting his family who Are undergoing "5"?" l a Garcal difficulties.

Williams Havior we doubt that after three years of living in Turkey he will now open himself up to its Rich culture but he will have plenty of time to reflect upon his actions if he gels the customary sentence of three years in a turkish prison. Whatever the outcome. Postal complaint gets answer in regard to a person who wrote about the mail. I sent two letters in the same Day with photos in them. 1 went and had them hand stamped because they were too big to go through the machine. I even marked them hand stamped. The girl Al Wiley hand stamped them and just threw them in the Box like i would have if it were a regu Lar letter. I sent them three weeks ago and my mom and dad still have not received them. Do they go through another system that requires another stamp if so Why do they put it All in the same Box this is not the end. I sent my sister and Niece a letter with patches in them. They also did not receive them. The Cost cannot be replaced. They were also marked hand stamped and put into the Box i guess. Someone had better get with those people and get things right. It is Tine for you to say of he or she can have them re  you Are not the ones paying for it. All this has happened in the last  weeks. Al this Point i am what you Call  d.
