Dear Ann Landers cheers to the Young Mother who wants to attend a family wedding and not bring her 10-month-old child along. I was de lighted when you told her to stand firm and not let the grandparents pressure her into  the years we All have attended weddings funerals open houses Etc., and been subjected to Small children running around upsetting lamps and trays of food demanding attention throwing tantrums and giving the hostess ulcers. Let s face it. Babies and Small children do not belong at adult functions. I Pray that the Young Mother will jul on her Lovely new gown leave the kid at Home go to the party and have a wonder fun  seen it too often in Iowa re Wutzl you. I Hope she writes and tells it the took our advice. Thanks Lor he Fri reminder a Lett to the Reitor a saw req std protect or . All letters re subject to editing. Page 11 letters learn something from Wietman War says Reader Congress Losi War. Sas westmoreland1 hopefully Gen. Westmoreland  mis quoted in your recent editorial. I have too much respect for the Man to believe he is jumping on the rambo  if he has t been misquoted and truly believes Congress was the major Factor in our political loss ., we did not achieve our stated political objective of preserving . Whether we won or lost militarily is immaterial. 1 Hope he will be forthcoming with the topics of the congressional directives re Quiring the military to pursue a War of at aids testing this is in reply to the female dependent who is upset Over the idea of aids inst ing for dependents. I can certainly understand your feelings aids is scary. Aids victim s need Mure help and understanding than anyone. I do wish you would look Al his from ,1 wider scope than your violation of civil rights. What about the rest of inc Popula Tion Don t we have a right to have carriers identified first of All i am on Active duly i had no Choice but to be tested. Second take the government s View Point. Look at it As a giant insurance com Pany. It docs cover some extent of your medic a costs. As with the civilian Compa Nies ii s the government s right to know the risk of the client s health. It is happen ing in the civilian sector As Well. I Don t have any reason to believe i May have aids. 1 will be married this summer. With god s Blessing i la have children some Day. I d much a Alicr know now than find out later that i could infect the Man i love or give birth to a deformed child. Name and location withheld brition through such tactics As free fire incs.

The Point is there is enough blame for All sections of society executive. Congress peace movement and Hawks to go around. Rather than rehashing the War. We As a people should be willing to say that the Vietnam War has taught us inc limits of incr volition Short of War no a Lime we raise taxes Call out the reserves and go to War a la at least Korea a Alicr than replay this academic technocratic game of Grad Ual escalation with always an Eye on inc ballot Box or opinion poll. Jim Morgan Raf Alconbury England Gen. William Westmoreland a message from a "peacenik7 open letter to misters Reagan. Wein Berger and Gen. Rogers dear sirs we arc certain thai by now you Are All Quile weary of pacifist statements especially i Host from inc elderly the ones lost Likely to Benefit from Long Range military expenses. Please try just one More such statement from an elderly peace convert who by the Way defined peace As much More than the absence of War and he a nov livery gun that is made every warship launched every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who Hun Ger and Are not fed those who arc cold saving Trees sowing prejudice in a recent edition of the stars and stripes i read with regret of yet another protest group forming in West Germany. The group Calls itself the citizens initiative . Construction  within this group protests arc planned against the implementation of proposed Ameri can military housing projects. At Issue is the cutting Down of thousands of Trees to make Way for future housing projects. Though i do not regret a protest focusing on tree preservation i sorely regret the Nam chosen by this protest group and the direct aim taken at americans. It is my belief that a protest group should target employed practices that Are deemed threatening or damaging to inc Public Good rather than directing efforts against a partic ular nationality or people. Whenever such differentiation , dividing us Imo two opposing Camps the ugly head of prejudice arises. A healthy protest group free from prejudice concerned for inc Public Good would Call itself the pm ens initiative against construction plans endangering native Trees " thus armed pure of intent this protest group would not Only concentrate on . Projects but also on German projects and any other projects Bent on the same tree destruction where Trees Are intended to be saved seeds of prejudice should not be sown Jean Ritchie Baden Baden Germany Reader applauds polite soldiers want to especially a thank you to the whole group for restoring my Faith in our american soldiers in Europe. God bless you All. Linda and Katie Lohndorf Lodo Isburg Germany on several occasions i have read letters in the stars and stripes complaining about the behaviour of gis on itt Tours f would like to comment.

As we boarded the bus my spirits Sank As i noticed the bus was about half full of sol Diers and i knew we were in for a miserable trip. I certainly was surprised. This group of soldiers from a military police company at North poin. Don t ask i never did figure out where it was was a group that i was proud to say represented America in Europe. They were Well be have courteous and Best of All. Enthusiastic about seeing everything they could on the tour. I recall hearing totally awesome quite often two Young men who sat behind us befriended my daughter and helped make the trip extra special for her. Katie says thanks for the hat Steve i want to say thank you to you both and i and Urc not clothed this world in arms is not spending Monty alone.
