A a a a a seemingly minute problem is Why in a not re enlisting. A a problem obviously considered minute by those who make the rules. This problem is the Barracks. Its Plain discriminatory the Way married soldiers Are treated compared with single soldiers. 1 believe most army of personnel know this but choose to Igliore it because they Are married and living comfortably in Homes while the rest of us suffer in one room with multiple strangers indefinitely or until we get married. To anyone who has a problem with my views i say you can have your army you can have your rank to make you feel Superior and you can stay it for 20 years because i Don t want it.

After sever Al translations and explanations i was told they  donate them but would give us a discounts As i started to pay another customer came up to me and gave me 20 Marks she said a please buy them with  she was German i Hadnot realized she spoke English and knew what was going on As i Tricia to thank her and get her name she hurried out the door and was gone / ? my Friend and i were touched and would like to thank not Only that lady but All of our German friends who have shown their support for our american troops and families. Many Quot tears were shed As i related the Story while giving out the Flowers a Virginia Trousdale Munich Germany of so voluntarily the Secretary of defense is quoted As saying that All service members Are volunteers. As everyone connected with the services knows this is manifestly untrue. V a j a there Are very significant numbers of Servic members who have been involuntarily retained past their separation dates while i have no doubt that the Legal personnel can quote chapter and verse As proof of the authority to take such an action the Point is that  unfortunate persons did not Volunteer to be retained past their Sepa i ration dates.
