European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 11, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday. September 11. 19b7 the stars and stripes letters readers add opinions on ., profiles i was doing my laundry tale saturday night. Leafing through the paper. I hurried o my favorite pan. The slurs and so rips groans and gripes letters Section. I be been in Germany i it years now and have read quite a few opinions of the soldiers stationed overseas but nothing has come close to Hilling the Nail squarely on the head As thinking about a i also have 10 gel up Early every Day and doing I have seen the Exempts Riding that profile Long and hard. Loo feel resentful that they Don t have to do anything but show up in a dts for the morning forma Tion. Last year when i Wai an impressionable a i i Felt that if they the profiles weren t going to do Be cause of a strained Eyebrow exaggerated but not Muchi was t going to do it me doing At 6 . Was comparable to having latrine duty after a three Day weekend. So i skipped and dodged For mation Long enough to earn a hard Core profile rider s respect. I had reached the Point of inactivity where i wanted to take the Post bus to the Chow halt and Back to was a big joke until my name was called for the Lest. Needless to say. I flunked the lest. In the Days that followed my Altitude toward Changed 360 degrees. Physical fitness is not Only to my Benefit but to my country s As Well. It s to ensure that my mind and body Are in Good form in Case i m Ever called upon to perform the duties and tasks for which i am trained. . Is not some form of torture the army thought up to plague its soldiers with the first thing in he morning. Let the Exempts ride their profile horses. Sooner or later they la find out just How hard it is to climb Back up the ladder again by the Way latrine duty and daily Still coincide in my mind when my platoon is doing the airborne shuffle to the autobahn and Back. It s a Long five Miles but i m there. Spec. 4 chock Krumm Bundlach Germany first i Batten to say that 1 heartily agree with a couple of Point in the recent thinking about a pro file letter.

After travelling several places this summer on space a. I was impressed with the patience. Kindness and Sincic Effort of Crew members to assist All passengers. So to Alt of you Mac Active duty and Reserve personnel who ferry us Back and Forth across the Ocean we greatly appreciate the Superb Job you do. Suanne Burke hims Luln a Germany am aware of. And disagree with the fact that some soldiers Are from By the first sergeant for no apparent reason. The letter seemed to carry an undertone that i wish to address my apologies to the writer if he did not think what i am about to by. I have noticed since 1 have been in the army that there exists a Paradox in the army s emphasis on being healthy and the reaction of Many Junior and senior leaders when a Soldier tries to ensure that he in fact. Remains healthy. I am talking about profiles the majority of coi 1 have come across disdain profiles. The Altitude that a Soldier is a wimp or is wiping out when he gels a profile is a damaging one and widespread. How is this consistent with the Aimy i philosophy of slaying healthy 1 have a t-3 profile because of stress fractures in my legs. I might add that i would not have had stress fractures were it not for the enormous amount of pres sure on me not to wimp so i ignored the pain and look what it got me i have every possibility of never Healing now and maybe losing my career in the army because i did t want to be nought of As a wimp. I was also chewed out by a screaming e-9 one Lime because i refused to break my profile. What a Man what a Leader i tin so tired of people looking at a Soldier with a profile Ai some Low Down disgusting creature from another world. What kind of leaders Are these men and women before someone Reading this says look an other Ini veting weakling with a profile i running off at the Mouth i would like to add something. I attend til Formations work out with weights every lunch hour nothing that would harm my leg Sand in in belter thac than most of my fellow sol Diers i am also an no. To those of you who think profile is disgusting i say this yes. Then Are those who hide behind profiles and Yea some Are taken. However Don t be no Quick to judge before checking your fact.

As with almost All people who have done this she did t even say excuse As a person who is considered too fat. T am often the object of incredibly rude remarks by strangers on he Street. I believe the uncouth behaviour of riders on the bus is a form of bigotry. The g message i get is that it s my fault i was sat on because i m Loo fat and therefore no apology is necessary. I am a grown woman who keeps herself neat and clean and is married to a doctor who adores me. I work hard at my Job. My Boss values me highly and pays me accordingly. 1 have a master s degree and was a Ful Bright scholar i believe i have reason to be respected and cannot understand Why being overweight should reduce me to the status of less than an animal. Please print my letter and say a word in support of people like me who Are mistreated daily for no reason other than the fact that we Are overweight. Up to Here in . To Ion that thin people also get sat on la Bate Bat line rudeness on Public transportation stems to be taken for granted Tunc Days very far Folk apologize when they step on a foot Jab an Elbow la the rib of fellow passenger or topple onto stranger when the bos or subway lurches. I agree that Ore weight people Are often discriminated against but those who do this Ait ignorant clods who deserve to be pitted Ai Well Ai censured. Dear Ann Landers 1 have read in your column As Well As other places the statement that most men who die during sexual Intercourse Are with women they an not roamed to. I believe this statement is misleading and Here i Why when a Man Dies while having sex with his wife she is too embarrassed to Tell the doctor the Coroner or anyone else. There is no reason for her to Volunteer such information. After All whose business is it when a Man Dies while in bed with hit Lover it s a different Kettle of fish. The illicit partner feels she must report the death accurately in order to protect herself from being charged with murder. Have i been Reading too Many novel lately or do i have a Point , in Phoenix to do. Indeed. But i m Ion careful researcher would find thai married men generally exert themselves More with the extracurricular Dolly than with the trite and to wife. Dear Ann Landers i m a 13-year-old boy who has been taking piano lessons since i we in second Grade. Mom taught me herself until two years ago and then she sent me to a teacher who charges quite a lot. I keep telling her she is throwing away Money. I Hale to practice and i m not very Good. Mom says if i prac tired More i d be a lot better. 1 Don t want to be better. I want to quit and i need your help. Please print my letter for All kids who Are tortured like i am. Beaumont Texas dear Beau Sony to let you Down but if your mom wants ton to stick with it go along until High school then you i Boito be free to quit if you want to. I Spek front experience. My daughter Mario was an unusually Good pianist starting at age 8. She Loo begged me to Lei her quit Lakings Asody. I m ashamed to admit that i caved in. From the Day she quit taking in thu she vent touched the piano again. Of count she Hai regretted it Ever since and so Bate 1. The 5 euro hah e cot Jeff of i m. Cook.
