Dear Ann Landers i read the letter in your column from the 12-year-old firl about the pain she was feeling because of her parents divorce.

Not actually in those words but Ven close. hungrily accepted the movie and All the unsavoury overtones that came with it. This makes one pause to think what kind of image Isth army actually trying to portray 1 am in the infantry and the army pays me to per form one service to kill every military occupational specially mos in the army is paid to support me inthe accomplishment of that Mission. With their color Ful posters depicting milk toothed women and me happily performing their daily chores the army seems to be hiding behind a veil that is far removed fro reality. The upper echelons of the army seem unwilling or unable to accept the Basic truth of my profession. A Case in Point is the army s Overly enthusiastic a dwell publicized support of Witch Hunts to stamp out substance abuse and their equally enthusiastic approach to plastic Field problems. This leaves one won Dering what slate of readiness the army is actually in. If the army wants me to 4 at mum a i , put to bunco. To be. It. Natl Tel who v . A song Khz arc human Chow 10. B Aal Nat.
