Senator about the use of Energy we Are members of the Pitburg kindness club and we Are involved in projects about helping the environment. We Are writing because we Are concerned that America is Trio dependent on other countries for Oil for Energy and this seems to cause Many problems for our country. We have Learned that there Are other forms of Energy that can be used in place of Oil and Gas. Solar wind and geothermal Are forms of Energy that can be used in different ways. Methanol and ethanol can be used for vehicles instead of gasoline. As part of our study of government we Are going to write our senators and ask them to pass Laws that will promote the use of alternative . We want to ask the readers of the stars and stripes to write the two senators from their states about the use of alternative Energy sources. Here is the address for All United states senators senator . Senate Washington . 20510. If your readers do not know the names of their senators they can find the names at the base Library.

It is one of the few things associated with military life that you done to seem to hear soldiers grumble about from time to time. I would personally attribute that to the fact that the paper has always offered a Well balanced blend of civilian news sports and editorials along with solid Middle of the Road military editing. It s sad to Sec it go. We can already see the a a new stars and stripes emerging. In the Wake of the civilian ombudsman calling for civilian editing and control of newspaper Content the stars and stripes is rapidly becoming a civilian newspaper. The surge of investigative journalism emphasis on bad news and the a exciting Quot new format All Point to a civilian in charge. I liked my old paper. In a in the military. The paper is supposed to serve the military. I want a military person in charge and i want my Good old stars and stripes Back. If i want unbiased news i can buy Usa today. The fact is i want biased news. I want an editor who understands what articles to print to make me feel Good 1-don�?Tt want Quot an editor who May be tempted to try to win a pulitzer prize or use the stars and stripes As a stepping Stone to the Washington Post. If you can t turn around the reporting please try to get our old format Back. The continuation of front Page stories on the Back Page was one of the Best features of the paper. It made important stories easy to follow and readable even during stops at a traffic Light on the Way to work. I know that in t the Way its done at civilian papers. So what its better than civilian its military. A maj. Roland k. Manbeck. Mannheim Germany a the news Media should examine its role in the Gulf my disgust with the news Media has reached its limit. The news Media have done nothing but exploit this War. I feel the government was right in limiting reporters to privileged information. I have Bee around the military for Over 20 years As a dependent military member and a Federal worker. And i feel the news Media arc not giving our government the credit or support that it needs and deserves. A we have Young and old male and female Over in the desert fighting a Barbaric dictator and All the reporters scam to care about is death and their imposed discomfort. Why is there so much overkill we have report after report covering the same thing Over and Over and Over again the same holds True for the questions they ask. Now that the scuds Are somewhat did news the big question is a when is the ground War going to Start Quot the reporters must be getting bored with the War. Maybe there is not enough a blood and guts for them to show the world. It s apparent that Gen. Schwarzkopf and his leaders know what they Are doing so just let them do it. Ground War if it comes will happen when its necessary and not earlier. Quit trying to push it so you have something new to write about. A staff sgt. David e. Firth a Sharon l. Firt Kaiserslautern Germany a War reminds us that lives cannot be replaced we have become too complacent in regards to the War in the Middle East. Modem technology has separated the human Factor in this travesty of modern Lime. People forget that the bombs Are falling on human beings whether they he military or civilian. Real human suffering is occurring. I feel that w e have lost sight of this. We no longer practice indiscriminate bombing. But w Ith the Advent of smart bombs we no longer come face to face w Ith the emotional affect that w a causes. 1 am appalled that we As a society would show video tapes of missiles and bombs being guided into targets As if it were some kind of pleasurable vide game. No one can replace a human life that has been lost. Not amount of reconstruction or revamping can dissolve o cover up the Hurt and anguish that War creates. Mankim must learn that no one wins in any War. All efforts must by exhausted in finding peaceful solutions to present and future political and diplomatic problems. We can never by considered a truly civilized society until we have eliminated War. A spec. William a.
