Dear Ann Landers i am overcome with anger and disgust and i need to unload on someone. You re the perfect outlet. Why do americans exhibit such indifference when in comes to caring for their pets every Day thousands of animals Are Pul to death in shelters at taxpayers expense. Hundreds of ads appear in newspaper offering Kittens puppies and adult animals that Are no longer wanted we think nothing of pampering ourselves. Witness the fact that we spend billions of dollars on tvs cars cigarettes and Beer. But we won t pay a modest sum for neutering and  leave our pets in overheated automobiles. We allow our dogs to ride unprotected in truck Beds. We bet on dogfights and dog races we forget to feed and water caged Birds and chained animals. What a big hearted nation we Are to retch across America to keep the statue of Liberty alive and give Aid to Africa and to the Farmers. Yet we continue to treat animals  Don t deserve the Trust and loyalty our animals give us. I question the human spirit if we dare to have so Little respect for life.

What a Gong to happen Laann Osmom . Restrictions on Exchange use explained this concerns a recent letter about needing a a lion card to enter exchanges in the United King Dom. Pint the answerer said All items Are rationed. Even toilet paper toothpaste underpants Etc it went on to say that cigarettes alcohol and luxury items Are controlled. Well if 1 am in England on leave docs that mean i can t go to the cafeteria or Exchange for anything does the status Offe Rees agreement state thai Only people on temporary duly or emergency leave orders can use the facilities or is that an cafes Rule i was in Mildenhall a couple of years ago and had no trouble getting into the Exchange with Only my id card. Secondly Why were those on temporary duty in the United kingdom not briefed by billeting. Why weren t their orders stamped when they processed in third i wonder what the sofa in England says about retirees maybe it s like Here in Germany where the . Army sold them out and they have no privileges. Or like Spain where the . Government agreed that retirees May not even get on any military installation Paul Mayo Karlsruhe Germany editor s note we received two replies to this letter. The first is from sex. Von Trohn cafes United kingdom Exchange general manager limited Access to Exchange facilities outside the United Stales can be a highly emotional Issue requiring patience and understanding by All parties concerned. Local Exchange privileges Are determined by the status of forces agreement Between the United states and the Host nation. It s important to continually emphasize that cafes does t establish these rules bul we re certainly required to abide by them. In the United kingdom the sofa slates that Only members of the Force May Purchase items in the Exchange. Service members Dod civilians and family members not stationed in the . Are not considered members of the Force. Therefore they re not granted Exchange privileges. In order to identify authorized patrons we be chosen the practical device of using the ration card issued  assigned Here. The alternative would be to Issue a third card in addition to the ration card and id card a costly redundancy. Serve remembers and civilians on toy to the United kingdom Are authorized to use Exchange facilities Dur ing their visit and the billeting office should be Able to Teu you Why the previous writer was not briefed. Stamping of toy orders at the billeting office when you arrive is necessary to identify a person As a Tempo Rary member of the Force in the United kingdom. The ration limits Are noted Al that Lime based on the number of Days you la be in the country  or us civilians on leave in the . Are not authorized Exchange privileges. Use of the ration card for entry to cafes facilities is required Only at the larger stores in the unite kingdom since the Cost of employing door checkers at All cafes outlets is simply Prohl Ilice. Whether or not a ration card is requested for entry it Ali must be presented to the cashier before Purchase can be made. However for practical reasons we do not apply this to the cafeterias. Exchange privileges far is. Military retirees in the United kingdom Are United in 1w6, oar state department after stringent insistence by the British government directed the withdrawal of All tax free privileges Lor retired . Military members either bring & or Rusl Flag the United kingdom. In 1992, the air Force was Able to through agreement with British customs a Provo get program for retirees living in the kingdom. They re now authorized to Purchase no rationed goods in the Exchange and commissary Post payment to the British government of a 15 percent surcharge on All Purchase. This much be a roughly equivalent to the government s tax. As i Hll Biilly noted sofa restrictions _ frustration and contusion. They vary widely Sam t try to country and can chant of Short Natlae.

This document is also used in both Britain mint Germany to limit the distribution of certain item Tutt Are rationed in amounts considered  for per Sonal use.

Persons on temporary duty in Britain can hate flick toy orders stamped at the billeting office to oth Ortizr them Exchange privileges. Persons on leave in the United kingdom an not entitled to use cafes faculties since As the British View it they Are not in Britain in connection wit their official duties As required by the sofa. Retired military personnel other than those who also have the status of eligible civilian employee and or dependents Are not part of the american nato Force under the sofa. Any privileges extended to them in nato count Rte derive primarily from the graciousness and Good will of our nato allies. In recent years at the request of officials at head quarters 3rd air Force the British government ins agreed to permit retired american military personnel living in the United kingdom to use the Comuni Saarlas and cafes facilities in that country Pon up mses of the value added tax on their purchases.
