European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 9, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Arm Landers dear Ann Landers millions of women appreciate your courageous stand on the abortion Issue. You Are to be commended for your willingness id speak up. I am sending a letter that appeared in the virginian Pilot and the Ledger Star. 1 have never seen this explosive Issue handled better please print it and use my name. Judy a. Elwood Virginia Beach a. Dear Judy Al Wood the Issue to u you by highly Conn mental and feelings tie intense on both Side. The letter is Superb. Page 11 letters pro lifers should Aid the already born to the editor once again pro life advocates demonstrated their blatant disregard for human life with their intrusion into Martin and Nancy Klein s personal tragedy. Nancy you May remember 9 weeks preg Nant suffered brain damage in an Auto Accident in their Zeal to protect Nancy Klein s fetus they ignored the Impact on Martin Klein s emotional state should he be prevented from doing everything possible to save his wife.-. ,. -,-./ they ignored Nancy Klein s right to life. While her therapeutic abortion does not guarantee that she will live her chances Are now improved. If pro lifers Are is passionate about life As they claim to be they could Aid the already Bora by doing the following 1. Support Early intervention programs for infants and children in impoverished single female headed Homes whose mothers arc unable to provide adequate nutrition medical care material support or emotional support. A. " 2. Support preschool programs that provide Low Cost structured child care and Brea Fasli for school age children whose mothers arc forced to go to work. 3. Search for solutions to the problems of incest physical abuse and emotional assault perpetrated against children. 4. Help raise wages earned by single mothers with Low level skills so that they can Al Brito care for their babies. 5. Support family education programs to prevent pregnancy that results from ignorance. 6. Legislate and enforce stricter child support Laws. Hanging baby dolls in effigy blocking clinic doors and threatening to explode bombs is no Way to show concern for the right to life. Unless pro lifers Are willing to search for solutions to the problems of the already bom they should pack up their terroristic tactics and go Home.

U 3 of Rycaj writer urges equal supervision in housing two slobs Joi n the army. One lives in the Barracks the other lives in govern ment quarters. The lob living in the Barracks is Ridden by his first sergeant and All the cos Down the line. He is a dirt Ball and will not see a waiver for promotion until he Geti his act straight. Meanwhile the married Slob continues on fat. Dumb and Happy without having to answer to anyone Fortis filthiness. Then suppose that these two slobs get drunk and both return Home and put their fists through their front Barracks Slob gels an article is and pays for the door. The married Slob just pays for the door and nothing further said. Now concerning details the Barracks Slob fails to do a Good Job cleaning his assigned area. He is immediately corrected and counselled by his supervisor or the first sergeant. Everyone in he orderly room and in his Chain of command knows he a a Slob and cannot perform his assigned tasks. But what of the married Slob he also has assigned cleaning duties. But who in his Chain of command is going to know if he fails to perform his duties or is a problem child even if they do find out somehow will it be weighed As heavily As if the Soldier lived in the Barracks After All the commander and first sergeant Are not signed for the. Quarters and do not have their basses conducting inspections of these quarters. Therefore no threat no problem it is not surprising that the married Slob will Proba Bly get recommended before the Barracks Slob out of sight out of mind. Let s take hit a step further. What if they were both cos. /. " whose her do you think will be most Likely affected what if one were a Barracks sergeant and the other a stairwell supervisor if both nil in their duties who do you think will suffer most directly Anil immediately -.,.v. A Mitor disparity exists and also inc potential for abuse. There Are Hough methods for correcting this. It Means getting the married Soldier s Chain of com Mand involved and interested in their soldiers who do not live in the Barracks. The same emphasis needs to be placed on govern ment quarters As on the Barracks. The Chain of com Mand must be aware of and actively involved in the performance of their soldiers in government quarters. Stairwell coordinators building coordinators etc., should be an estra detail As much As Barracks sergeants and should be considered in the same Way when evaluating a Soldier s performance for ears and for favor Abl actions. Feedback must be Given to the Soldier s Chain of command As to his performance of duties in govern ment quarters. This will allow for inc unit to provide corrective action in whatever form is necessary to change the Soldier s behaviour Community commander has him thrown on the in Eccl with his family. v ". ". If necessary have the quarters signal Tor by the Soldier s commander before it is sub hand receipted to the Soldier. This should definitely keep the command interested in the state of the quarters. Quarterly health and welfare inspections should be conducted by the command of All married person Nel. This is done to the Barracks personnel with the excuse that it shows the command cares about How its soldiers live. Well i think the command ought to care about How the married personnel Are living. Are they slobs is there evidence of spouse abuse or child abuse Are they living in a health Hazard because they Are Slob or do not know How to live properly or arc they destroying government property this can be nipped in the Bud if caught before 11 gets out of hand these actions should keep the married Soldier in a higher profile so that he is not allowed to skate while his counterpart takes the heat every Lime he messes up. I have lived in a number of housing areas while i have been in the army and White travelling with my dad who was in the service. Government quarters overseas arc usually the least desirable places to live while in the service. It is usually a hit or miss proposition As to whether or not your life will be miserable. Apathy and Gross insensitivity arc spread widely enough in uni Mary. Housing that it is like playing russian Roulette. The words american ghettos and zoos arc often heard As adjectives to describe some housing areas. Maybe a Little More command emphasis will help this out staff sgt. Smith Augsburg West Germany Retiree wants foul language cleaned up As a retired no 1 would like to address Hie two subjects of non smoking areas and language pollution and Hope commanders will Lake equal efforts to clean the air of foul language especially in the Public areas where women and children arc present . The Exchange snack bars Burger bars howling alleys Etc although i am a smoker 1 do not object to not being permitted to smoke in such areas As a retired no i know All the words from what i used to refer to As a Field language dictionary to identify profanity. When i was on Active duly this language was never acceptable by military standards in Public places at any Lime. Any Soldier heard using it was generally instructed by any no or officer to cease using such language. In the last few years i have noticed an increase in usage by Young soldiers with senior cos and officers present but these people seem to. Accept its use and make no Effort to Correct it with the new army 1 must also include Young female soldiers. The soldiers of today Are supposed to be better educated and one would think know More words than those containing sri1/ four letters. Thus they should be better Able to express themselves without the use at least i n Public of these types of words. Personally would prefer to have someone with a foul smelling cigarette near my family than someone with a foul Mouth. The impression 1 gel is that the senior cos and officers of today seem to fear correcting soldiers for such Public use of Field language u All boils Down to Lack of training in the soldiers of today 16 respect those around them. If i must leave my cigarettes in my pocket i would like to be Able to have those people leave their Field language in theirs Jackie l.
