Quot pen pals letters to the editor a arrest quibble on assault charge writer says regarding a recent quibble and three letters Ter the editor namely a germans Back .,�?� a Frankfurt support a and a opposes War not Gist it has Long been understood that while the stars and stripes May be the a authorized unofficial publication fur the . Armed forces the readership of and Access to a the stripes is not limited exclusively to members of the military. This is All the More obvious and recognizable when four separate letters signed by seven German citizens Frohri four different cities appeared in today a edition. The Gist of these letters is that there is German support for the american  saudi Arabia even though the re is opposition to and demonstrations against the War throughout Germany. It is Nice to see that some of your German readers have the ability to differentiate Between the Issue of the War and those individuals who May find themselves in the situation of having to fight it. It is unfortunate that the creator of your cartoon quibble lacks the maturity and Good sense to be Able to make this same distinction. 7 j Hope that your German readers in particular will be Able to find the a thu More in quibble a a assault on the demonstrator. Would your German readers continue with their support of our gis if these same gis decided that the Best Way to Deal with the demonstrations in Germany is through confrontation and assault on the demonstrator a la quibble May we look Forward to quibble a a arrest on assault charges in the future so that your readers May see that the a typical american reaction to a situation that May not be to our liking is not one of brutality hut one of attempted understanding and Justice 7 quota Patrick Temmerman ecu Isenburg Germany a is quibble immune to military Justice system when is quibble going on trial in the Jan. 31 Issue we witnessed him assault and Batter a Man. I believe this is a crime both in the Ucma and in German civil  far As i can Tell the Only reason for this attack is that a a killer quibble disagreed with an opinion the unidentified victim was expressing. The right to express your opinion no matter How unpopular that opinion May be is one of our most important freedoms. If a citizen of the United states does no to have the right to disagree with his her government then what Are we doing in Southwest Asia maybe you should Send a copy of the strip to a sad Many Hussein. In a sure he would like it. A Floyd a. Newsom 7 Kapaun air station Germany Quot a protesters Don t represent majority Reader says i while this letter As one of the gradually diminishing group of americans who remembers my experiences As a child of world War ii who heard . Tell us All of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I saw All my uncles and my father goofy to the War. Years later i served in the . Marine corps during the closing Days of the korean conflict. My brother subsequently served with the marines in the far East As the Vietnam conflict began. Of i find myself an observer us the .-Lraqi confrontation unfolds. I find myself wondering whether we would be speaking japanese or English if our country was As heavily populated with the misguided fools we arc watching today who undermine our elected officials and cause our fighting men to wonder if we support them. 1 believe most of these people to be Well intentioned but 45 years ago they would have been arrested and charged with treason. Regrettably the Media in the United states gives so much coverage to this very Small minority opinion that people outside the states service personnel and the enemy perceive us to be weak in our support. While the vast majority of americans support our fighting men and our president and believe our cause to be just the press and other Media continue a As they did during Vietnam a to give undue publicity to the very distinct and vocal minority. / because they Are loud does no to mean they speak for the vast majority of americans. A Richdrd Seward Smithtown . A Gulf troops loved ones extend beyond families i would like to address the army a commitment to take care of people whose loved ones Are employed to the persian Gulf. I must say that the efforts made by the department of defense to take care of spouses and families who arc left behind in a foreign country Are commendable. There arc Many Community services provided to those in need of support and an intricate system has been developed in order to take care of them while their loved ones Are deployed. But there arc Many out there who Are silent. They Are the unnoticed and uncured for a single people who also have a loved one serving in the Gulf. We Are the ones who had the Surprise attack for we Wero caught in the Middle of by dining relationships that were quickly nipped. We Are the ones who although we chose not to marry in a fit of panic still sit and wait and worry about those we care about who Are deployed. We Are not allowed any of the rights of spouses although we May care for our loved ones just As deeply. We Are denied the right to know How they Are faring and if god forbid they Are injured or killed. We were denied any briefings on How to handle the deployment As Well As being denied the right to support groups or any other benefits that Are provided for spouses. I feel that the department of defense treats girlfriends and Fiancee As if they done to belong although most of us Are dedicated employees of that same  Susan ii.
