Army in Europe the weapons used by american soldiers today Are As Good As or better than those of any other nation in the world. Both our friends and foes alike know our weapon systems Are Good. That is Why our friends and allies arc seeking to buy them and Why our foes copy them. Lately though 1 have Reada number of newspaper reports about some failures of certain weapons. Let me put the record straight. New weapon systems such As he my Abrams Lank the 64 helicopter the multiple launch rocket sys tem and Many others Are now being introduced into . Army in Europe. Should War occur these new weapons ensure More than Ever before thai american soldiers can fight survive and win. For example the m 2/3 Bradley is a great infantry and cavalry lighting vehicle and a tremendous improvement Over the older m 113 armoured personnel Carrier. If you have any doubt just ask a Soldier who has one the Tow and dragon anti tank missiles Are also Good and constantly being improved further. The Tow missile system is a Case in Point Here i Germany the missile system and its Crews Are now under Armor greatly increasing both thei r effective Ness and their survivability. Furthermore with tactically competent leadership and realistic training the . Army teams of fighters and supporters Are the Best deterrent to War dial know. But if War comes Usa eur is prepared to fight win and go on to fight another Day. It is the winning combination of Good soldiers hard training and dependable weapons that has deterred War in Europe since 1945. Lam confide that the american soldiers and weapons of today will continue to keep the peace. Gen. Glenn k. Otis commander in chief Usa eur insignia sales by cafes stores explained i recently attempted to Purchase some military in Signia in the Heidelberg military clothing sales store run by our very own army and air Force Exchange service. I was shocked to discover that i could not Purchase military Issue insignia of Grade and Branch decorations unit shoulder patches and other items normally worn on the uniform. Ii seems according to the store clerk that we must no buy the cafes procured commercial versions at the considerably greater Cost. The explanation that they discontinued those was not exactly satisfactory especially when 1 got the same from the supervisor. Since it was a saturday there was no further Recti Rise at the time. Something tells me we have somehow been slicked out of another Bennie. I also seem to recall a pledge by some one with stars at cafes to the effect that we would not lose anything by cafes taking Over the mass. Would suppose that someone will now Tell us thata Afes discontinued these Issue items because most customers bought the cafes com Mereial items. Stands to reason i guess As the cafes items Are Hung on the Wau infill View. The Issue items were kept out of site in drawers behind the counter and you had to ask which of course assumes you knew they were there. A Well such is life in the captive audience. Beyond complaining i do have a question. Have Alla Afes mass facilities discontinued the Issue insignia pen pals and patches or is it Only Heidelberg where of course there Are mostly senior officers who can afford the cafes items anyway ? oiled warrant officer w.
