Letters to the editor airs views on like a lot of military wives Here i any also awaiting the return of my Soldier husband and father of our two sons aged 15 months and 3 months. The Pride that i have for my husband in the courage and gusto he has shown in being a part of operation de. Sert storm is also extended to the Many other am Crinan and Allied fighting forces in and around saudi Arabia the american people have taken for granted the Freedom that other countries Only dream of obtaining. Those who do manage to obtain their dream of Freedom do so by coming to our beloved land. It it since the liberation of Kuwait began and Jivon before our fighting men and women the families of these men and women and anyone else who had to listen. Have been subjected to protests. Isnit it wonderful to be living in a country where they Are Able to protest against something without worry of being murdered by their government j Keven this Small Freedom is abused by them. They have the potential to bring Down the Norale of everyone who hears them More than Quot Baghdad Bettye Ever could. After All these people Are our neighbors. How devastating for our men and women fighting or about us in some Ilses for these people so they can continue to enjoy the Freedom of living and yes. Even protesting. A Gerri Bitz Asch Altonburg Germany. A Reader objects to photos of pilots i was appalled and greatly disappointed in the stars and stripes to Sec the pictures of the two american pilots who were captured by Iraq on the front Page. It was upsetting enough to see them on the television and have to explain to my children but to see them again on the front Page of your newspaper was taste. I think every woman whose husband is Over there could empathize with these menus families and not want to see our husbands in those circumstances on our television or on the cover of the newspaper. If it is considered a War crime of Saddam Hussein to Parade our men like that then what Are you doing do people really want to see this and if they do do they have no compassion for the families of these loved ones a a a / a. A. a. . Yes we want to hear the news Are emotional enough about having our loved ones Over there do you need to make us bleed also i just ask for More compassion in what is reported and printed. A Robin Grotheer. Nurnberg Germany a Gen. Lee s civil rights record defended Paul f. Eckstein in a recent column in the stars and stripes described the late Gen. Robert e. Lee As a a noted civil rights in the context his description comes across As a sarcastic impugning of Genlee a record. I might that Gen. Lee became convinced of the evils of slavery and freed his slaves before the civil War at considerable monetary Cost. / on the outlier hand his Union counterpart Gen. Ulysses s. Ltd it tacs unto life was forcedto37 free them. Rrt flute was i incidentally two of Gen. Grant s four slaves were wedding gifts to mrs. Grant and under the Laws and customs of the Day became his property he being the Man in the family. Eckstein seems to hold to a simplistic View of the civil War being fought by forces supporting slavery on one hand and those opposing slavery on the other. Simplistic views Are convenient. They save us the trouble of thinking. A. a a a a Gene Phillips Frankfurt Germany setting Gull War Mission straight we re writing in regard to the recently published doonesbury cartoon that alluded to night by personnel on Board ship enjoying a leisurely deployment. As a Hospital corpsman currently serving with the marines Here in saudi Arabia i As Well As Many marines found the cartoon outrageously funny. However wed like to Point out to your readers lest they be remiss concerning who s doing what Over Here that there Are Over 4,500 Navy corpsmen serving with the . Marine corps., and we re anything but living it up. While this Mission is certainly a team Effort we Felt it necessary that the Public be aware of the proud and Long standing tradition of teamwork that marines and Navy corpsmen share. Ask any Marine who takes care of you Guys out in the Field a reply., a does everyone knows a and now you do too. A Petty officer 3rd class Edward p i. C l a re nce-4,4 hits o n a operation desert storm a wife has mail question a student helps soldiers headline questioned i object to the misleading headline in a recent Issue Quot gun related police deaths Rose substantially in 1990.�?� it was not obvious to me until i compared the numbers in the second and third paragraphs that gun re rated police deaths actually decreased nearly 30 percent in 1990 from the previous years numbers. The statement by Gerald s. Arenberg. Executive director of the National association of chiefs of police indicating a higher frequency of firearms in officer deaths is made meaningless by the very statistics that prompted it. While the percentage of firearms fatalities did increase because of the drastic reduction in deaths from All causes the Bottom line is police officers died from gunfire in 1990 than in 1989/. If your staff composed this articles headline it was editorially Sloppy if the associated press provided the headlines someone on your staff should have ensured a a. A it. That the headline was accurate. A capt. Kent a.
