A tetters to the editor a writer cites cases of1 the time has come to hold the so called Media professionals to professional standards. In the medical professions if one acts in a negligent manner leading to the injuries of others one is held liable for medical malpractice. Recently 1 have seen numerous cases of Media malpractice. The Best example was when a reporter repeatedly stated in which direction scud missiles were missing Tel Aviv despite repeated warnings from the Anchor Man not to disclose this information. He was the Best spotter the enemy had to redirect fire. The people injured in the latest attack on tet Aviv should sue him and his network for Media malpractice. In another Case a reporter gave the exp time live broadcast direction number and types of Allied air Craft leaving on a sortie. The Only thing he did t give was the exact target and Call signs this act was close to treason information for Money Quot a it. The Best thoughts i can hold of these reporters is that they Are Only fools. The time has come to hold reporters and networks liable for Media malpractice. A a capt. Mark Arrington Frankfurt Germany 1a when the mail does t get through first i wish to thank anyone who wrote one of the Many a to any letters we have received.

The fact remains we receive very few of the letters or boxes mailed to us. I have one Soldier who feels even his creditors have forgotten him.

My Point the Lack of hot meals not common for some rear unit the Lack of desert fatigues the cold the heat the drills and the usual this makes no sense to me routines a that we must All Deal with on a daily basis can be taken in stride because we Are All soldiers. But add to this the Lack of mail or any information from Home you will find it very demoralizing to any Soldier. A i have no Way of knowing if this problem exists on outgoing mail.
