War is not a Good thing but sometimes it is necessary. The preservation of Freedom is a valid important reason. To liberate a Small country engulfed by a larger neighbor is a must. President Bush promised this would not be another Vietnam and How right he was. That was a disgrace a valid reasons to be there but poorly handled. If Battles Are fought and your sol Dicks Are being killed it. Is War. If you Are going to fight fight to win and treat those who return with Honor respect and dignity. They have been through hell. The Vietnam veterans were not Given the regard Given to vets of other wars. A generation later those of us who awaited the return of husbands lovers Brothers and friends now Pray for our sons and daughters Safe Homecoming. Only this time the Home support was there. The people supported the president. He used Good sound1 judgment no Pussy footing. Like siblings we fight amongst ourselves but stand United to face an outsider.

Augsburg German right color wrong group i am responding to the letter which mentioned the a Media hype of  i think some clarification is in order. In the writers first sentence she mentioned the environmental organization Greenpeace. Did she perhaps mean the greens in be been a member of Greenpeace for quite some time and thought i was up to Date on their activities and i can to honestly remember any actions on their part regarding serving or not serving in Battle. They have As other environmental groups have stated their concerns about a wars effect on the environment which is a concern shared by Many people Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf being one of them. A it col. Katherine e. Robertson Frankfurt German comes with the contract the author Sally Quinn of the Wash in to n Post Ries to m Ake t h is article sound like it is for All parents. But what it really says is a it is of for women to be equal and train the same As men and be Given the same. As men As Long As they done to have to share in the risks like the men do a whether or not women or men in the persian Gulf enlisted to fight letters to the editor a War or not the fact remains the same. They Are soldiers in the . Military service and knew that there was always a Chance of a War or conflict breaking out somewhere and they could be called upon to defend their country. When a woman has a child in the army she is Given the option of terminating her enlistment under the provisions of chapter 8 army regulation 635-200. If the Soldier does not want to be separated from her family then she should terminate her enlistment she will still receive an honorable discharge and All benefits i do agree that being deployed does cause trauma for children of deployed parents. My daughter had trouble sleeping and would cry at night asking for her daddy to come Home. Even now a year later the effects arc still there every time i leave for work a she cries thinking that i am leaving fora length of time again. These Are some of the hardships endured by All personnel in the military be it mom or dad so if you Stop deploying parents that Are in the military you basically Stop deploying the military a spec.

A chief warrant officer 3 William Thomas Stuttgart Germany first come the Lions then enter the jackals the United states and its allies did in the Gulf War what they do Best bringing to Bear massive forces for conventional overt military action a a gathering of Lions. After a decisive Victory for the multinational Force the United states and its allies must face what iraqis Radical palestinian Hezbollah and islamic jihad friends do Best Covert terrorist action a a gathering of jackals. Americans and . Interests worldwide now face a Long period of terrorist threat. Iraq has through its own Radical allies the personnel organizations and material resources to conduct extensive terrorist actions. For the first time the United states faces a a. Tion that has the capability and disposition to use terrorism As a postwar weapon of revenge. ,. Before launching his aggression against Kuwait Saddam Hussein gathered the terrorist hard Core to his Side. A the number of existing palestinian radicals and their deadly capabilities could increase significantly if members of a1 Fatah the military Arm of the Palestin liberation organization join their ranks or form new Radical organizations. Contrary to popular belief the  has not participated in International terrorist activity for the past nine years. Yasser Arafat however casting the  lot with Saddam has lost big the plots failure to achieve goals through diplomacy followed by Saddam a loss in the Gulf could result in despair among Large numbers of its members. Radicalization of the  must be avoided if the West wishes to avoid decades of murderous terrorist destruction More extensive than that seen during the 1970s. Before the Gulf War the United states and others refused to accept a a linkage of the palestinian prob Jem with iraqi occupation of Kuwait because such would a Reward  support for an International peace conference to consider All Middle East problems was refused for the same reason. A a. A. Now that rewarding iraqi aggression is no longer a Factor the United states should assure the 3 million palestinians and their supporters throughout the world that postwar efforts to Settle the palestinian question will be taken. Offering such Hope would cause those thinking of turning to Radical violence to pause for fear of losing what could be the palestinians last peaceful Chance i discussing the War. President Bush recently said a when All of this is Over we want to be the healers. And want All to be a part of the new world  hopefully that comment includes palestinians and that signals will be sent to prevent despairing despondent members of the  joining ranks of the murderous jackals.
