European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 18, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday december 18, 1985 the stars and stripes Ann Landers Page 11 letters dear Ann Landers please for Hea Ven s Sake Slop push ing religion anyone with half a brain knows that your readers Are for the most part simple minded superstitious dimwits who can t face life with out a Crutch. But does t it bother you when you advise about the Laws of god a 2,000 year old fairy tale one Day i Hope you write a column denouncing the god myth and then quit. The ultimate limit of human foolishness the most preposterous bit of irrational hokum Ever dreamed up by Humankind is the Balo found in the scriptures. Such nonsense is for weaklings and idiots who Are unable to think for themselves or accept responsibility for their own actions. I dare you to print this. If you do it will be the most sensible thing that has appeared in your stupid column since october1955. No admirer in Appleton w1s.dearap i feuded Long ago that it makes no sense to argue with people who think like you. I would however like to Correct one of your statements. You refer to a 2,000 year old fairy  actually my Crutch is the old testament which is 5,000 Yean pm. How do you suppose such irrational foolishness has lasted so Long never Bate the principles of Justice ethics morality and Good mental health been enunciated so clearly As in the Bible. If you Don t want to bother with All that baloney May i suggest you read Only the ten commandments. It won t take Long and you will Hare the guidelines for an honorable and rewarding life. Dear Ann Landers anyone who has attended As Many Irish weddings As i have is sick and tired of that time worn Toast May the wind always be at your  the real Irish Are Seldom that benign. I ran across an Irish prayer that is much More characteristic of the Irish 1 know. I feel it can serve As an appropriate and Welcome change. 1 Hope you will print it.

For sure she a a hypochondriac and Lam not feeling very Well myself dear Friend "  Are sick people. They nerf ave Dierce. Pretend to listen. Do orals a. Her. Try it. It works. Force reminder Al the fall writer thou your mow your piracy to court martial or kick out official explains policy i cannot believe what i have just read reference of drops charges As no accepts  1. Is the air Force insinuating that being a civilian is worse than 55 years in prison 2. Will making this staff sergeant a civil Ian prevent him from sexually offending children in his Home town after discharge 3. If the punishment for sexual offences while in the military is simply to request a discharge then All the men wanting out know How to do it now ask this staff sergeant. 4. Meanwhile where do family members go for Protection while overseas the Ger Man authorities turn it Over to the military the military says just get him out of the military we re not social  5. If the military Legal system does t care about rehabilitation and or protecting other innocent family members then it s time they acknowledge this fact and turn punishment Over to the Mere civilians who still care especially Aboul molesting children. 6. What military person would t choose Good old Reg 39-10, chapter 4 in lieu of court martial being a civilian really in t All that bad. Auto shop is thanked for help i d like to thank the Badener Hof Auto crafts shop for help received that possibly saved my life. In particular i d like to thank Auto crafts instructors Peter Fischer and Dieter Messing. I recently purchased two tires for the front of my car from a reputable Heilbronn firm that i be done business with several times in the past. I also asked the firm to perform a front end alignment on my car. About one week after the work was per formed my car would Jolt whenever i let up on the throttle and applied pressure again. The car would also Jolt when i d hit even the slightest bump in the Road a vary unusual Jolt that could be Felt through the steering and even the scats. I took my car to the Auto crafts shop and explained the problem. Messing took a ride with me and named a number of possible problems. 1 drove my car Over the lube pit and together Fischer and 1 located the problem. The firm which performed the alignment forgot to tighten two very important nuts that could have caused a very bad Accident during High Speed autobahn driving which luckily i had t done. Fischer wrote a note in German that explained the problem so i could return to the firm to have the work done Over correctly and free of charge. I be dealt with the bad neerhof Auto crafts shop several limes in the past with everything from brakes to welding and have always received Good advice and instruction. The staff is always willing to go out of its Way to lend professional assistance and know How not Only on German made vehicles but american vehicles As Well. The bad neerhof Auto crafts shop should be the first Stop for anyone with an automotive problem. The staff could save you time Money and maybe something a Little More important. Sol. Mike Novogradac a Heilbronn Germany spouse asks favor of All soldiers so it was the week of the army family i sat Here watching Gasthaus listening to All the Lovely things planned for the week. I d just like to write and say big  Don t get me wrong. All the programs started by the army or its people Are wonderful. But i myself and i m sure Many others feel the same am tired of being Paci fied by All the family  yes i m part of the army family and my husband is totally army but i Don t want millions spent on me to keep me Happy. What i want is the people cos com Manders Etc to treat my Soldier like a person. He needs that leave you cancelled to fight stress. He needs the Day off to take his wife to a special doctor at Lan Stuhl. He needs to get off Early because they re hav ing dinner guests. Most of the time an no s reason for not letting a Soldier off is no one knows How to do  Bull. Order someone to do it. Thai s what your rank is for. And you Soldier can say hey i la do in for him so he can  you May need some one to cover for you. Instead of saying that s not my Job Slart saying every thing is my Job because i m part of the whole system. The same goes with family members. Help each other out. I m not trying to say we need a soft army. We need a caring army. The Guy you treated badly in the shop office Field etc., May one Day have to cover your but in a War. Will he Terri l. Knoll a Ellingen Germany he urges people to be prepared7 Are you tired of fighting the Battle of the lines to get anything done. Such As cashing a Check or entering a military installation sure you Are As Ever one else is in the theater. What can we do to help ourselves and others avoid this frustration there is no simple answer but perhaps we adults can learn a lesson from the boy scouts with their motto be  be prepared at the Gate by having your id card at the ready. Be pre pared at the commissary by having your id card and Check minus signature at the ready. And so Forth. But also be pre pared to Pul these items away rearrange your purse or Wallet etc., after you have been served away from the serving area. We should do everything we can to not Only help ourselves but also those behind us. You May be one of those who wails behind a Slowpoke one Day. Chief master sol. Joseph w.

Raichle director of civil and military affair office of the staff judge advocate he us a be replies under chapter 4 of afr 39-10, an air Man May request discharge in lieu of rial by court martial when charged with serious misconduct i.e., when Al punitive Dis charge could he imposed. If such a request is approved by the general court martial convening authority in the air Force this is usually the numbered air Force commander the Indi dual is normally separated under other than honorable conditions.1 this Type of Dis charge forfeits most veterans benefits and carries a severe stigma when apply Reg for employment or College admission. Requests for discharge Are by no Means always approved. All the circumstances of each Case Are considered including the accused s potential for rehabilitation the Protection of society the probable effect of trial or discharge on morale and discipline and such factors As avoiding the necessity of having to Force child victims to testify in court. The obvious difficulty of making such judgments Well deserves a decision by a senior commander. The policy of the air Force is to vigorously investigate nil reports of child abuse. Where the evidence warrants it disciplinary action is taken often in the form of trial by court martial. In the Case referred to however the Deci Sion was made that the interests of All concerned would be Best served by a discharge in lieu of court martial. In other circumstances a Case might Well be ordered to trial. European edition capt Dale k Patterson us editor lit chief pm Dot Jeffrey $ Zakem. Used Coutv Eduora in chief . Blackwell m.
