In a sure the main reason you fail to present the Only Side of a Story he wants to hear is because your budget probably prevents you from hiring an adequate number of appropriately minded censors. Rather than your spending Money to hire expensive censors i suggest you print a Small warning on the front Page warning readers to put Down the stars and stripes and to turn off an for that matter when they see or hear something they done to agree with.

Ramstein a German Blind aggression useless at the risk of my thoughts being misunderstood i write in reply to the letter on the subject of the a White  is no denying or justifying the injustices committed by the ignorance of the past or the present. Modern discrimination is no a a better than that of the past because it is just a variation on a theme to something which lies on the dark Side of humanity. Discrimination touches Many different people., the writer talked of a ethnocentric racism Quot in her letter. It seems to me that grouping All Whites into a a them and a a their and a a they boldfaced stereotypes when talking of injustices Falls perfectly into her own classification of ethnocentric racism websters ninth collegiate dictionary a ethnocentric 1 having race As a Central interest. A. The act of linking an entire race to the statements is As ridiculous As using them to support her Point it is Tunnel vis Ohea rhetoric that keeps racial tension alive. I am not naive enough to think that racism no longer exists but the secret to removing a problem is not to bring up pain from the past or to blame this pain on innocent bystanders because they resemble the inflict or. Nor is it to increase the problem by becoming part of the problem yourself. These Are the ways a problem perpetuates itself.

Olsen Raf Lakenheath England of place for objectors 1 am writing in regard to a recent letter where  writer voiced his feelings arid. Made some Good Points about conscientious objectors. It is not with these that i have any objections. I do have a problem with the fact that he sees the chaplains assistant position As an appropriate a a place for conscientious objectors to serve their country. The writer did not mention his Branch of service a so i approach this subject from my own . Army knowledge. Army regulation a 165-1, chaplain activities in the . Arney Field manual pm 16-1, religious support doctrine the chaplain and chaplain assistant and reference Book re 1-1, unit ministry team amt hand Book All explain in detail the do tics and responsibilities of Chap Iain a assistants. Some of these Are to Bear arms to be trained and proficient with our weapons and obviously to be combatants. This would make sense As a chaplain who is a non combatant and does not Bear arms has no other Means of defense. The writer did raise some Good Points about the legitimacy of conscientious objectors. However i encourage him to gain a better understanding of my chosen profession and know the facts before generalizing us As simply a a a place for. Consic Inious objectors. A spec. Joseph r.

A Heidelberg German Quinn misses the Mark Sally Quinn s i article about mothers in Southwest Asia makes a valid Point but verges too much on hysteria to be convincing. After she explains her own per Sonal Nightmare of abandonment i am not surprised at the position she takes. Bring mothers Home i agree. Bring mothers and fathers y. Home. But to assume that children of deployed mothers will suffer Long term emotional and mental disorders is a leap of Faith too Broad for those of us who live a within Normal  children of mothers who die of cancer or other Munfor Ceable reasons do not to my knowledge become incapacitated for the rest of their lives. On the other hand mothers who sign on the dotted line and subsequently ignore the reality in which they live by not securing proper secondary care cause extreme outcomes because these mothers Lack a respectable amount of maternal instinct. Bringing these mothers Home will not necessarily mean that these children will have a better life. The problem is not the president the War or the military. The problem is mothers who have babies and then mistake them for a new car in the garage. A Tottie Powell.
