George Patton because each general had his own particular problems and obstacles. A Quot but to say that Patton did no to care about High casualties is ludicrous. Before the invasion of North Africa Patton had a dream of a River of dead and All of them blaming him. This upset him greatly. Patton believed in hitting the enemy where he Wasny to expecting it a necessity in Mobile warfare. In fact the Only time Patton suffered very High casualties was in Sicily there British Field marshal Bernard Montgomery a politicking did no to allow Patton any room to Man Euver. This forced Patton into a direct assault. If Schwarzkopf had attacked Kuwait directly he too would have had very High casualties. The other time occurred when Patton a supplies were Cut to Supply Quot Market Garden a Monty s ingenious plan to liquidate a British airborne unit in arnhem. Patton was forced to attack Metz directly. A / z it should be noted that Patton was the Only Allied general that the germans specifically watched i.e., Armee Gruppe a Armee Gruppe a Armee Gruppe Patton. A a i do want to congratulate sew air Kopf on a Beautiful Man Euver using the indirect approach getting there first with the most men Nathan Bedford Forrest and seeing the desert As Akin to naval warfare German Field marshal Erwin Rommel. A Patrick Ludwa r _ _ Mannheim Germany the Lack of sensitivity shown by the Host nation to the religious beliefs of those who fought for the liberation of their neighbor and very possibly averted an attack on the kingdom itself. I find it strange that so much Effort is put into ensuring that no a offensive behaviour is committed by . Personnel during this period of Little Effort at least publicized Effort was put into securing rights and respect for the beliefs of those transported far from their Homes to liberate and protect also think that the average service member has respect for other cultures religions and backgrounds and understands the differences a much More so than the Host nation.

Support appreciated in a writing to thank All the soldiers in Usa eur who worked the seven Day weeks to support operation desert shield and desert storm although they were Quot not deployed to saudi Arabia and the front lines they were away from their families All or most of this time. It is just As hard if not harder on All of us knowing our loved ones were just an hour or so away but we be with them As much As we liked. Thank you to All the hard working soldiers who worked the Long hours of support for Little appreciation a Rebecca Harper Pir Masens Germany hypocritical standards its hypocritical that in the Navy and 1 guess the other services As Well they ? talk loud and Long against discrimination harassment and prejudice. Yet it seems that the Only time you can talk about god or Jesus Christ with out being harassed is when using profanity. Its alright to take gods name and use it while cursing or talking dirty. But if someone wants to talk about gods goodness or his saving Grace then the harassment begins not Only from Peers but from senior personnel As Well. -. _ Quot to top it off the military requirements for the third class Petty officer correspondence course Stales under the leadership Section that All profanity should be avoided so much for Lead or ship. A. A Petty officer 1st class John c. A. Neal . A operation desert Storma role misunderstood chaplain assistants Are combatants contrary to a remark made recently in your opinion Page. We Bear arms because one of our prime roles is to personally protect our chaplains who Are non combatants by doctrine alone. The misguided belief that we Are objectors is not Only wrong but damaging to the image of an already letters to the editor misunderstood military occupational specially 71m. A spec. A. Blask operation desert storm numbers overdone a i strongly agree with views expressed in the recent letter a paying for the too much emphasis is placed on a persons race religion and gender. If people Are going to put racism and other prejudice behind them we need to quit throwing it in their faces one example of this is the Way percentage were provided for the military makeup in the persian Gulf. A a by birth or by Choice we Are All americans and it is by Choice that we Are serving in the military. So does it really matter what percent was White Black asian female or hispanic do the families of those who died feel any better knowing that their son or daughter was Only a percent of the total number of Blacks or females. Another example is when the air Force publishes its list for officer promotions and along with that list there is a breakdown by race and gender. If in a not mistaken promotions Are supposed to be based on performance so what difference does it make if you Are male or female Black or White maybe the numbers need to be kept but 1 done to think they need to be waved in front of the Public like a Flag. Anyone who wants to play a numbers game can figure out the percentages with a calculator. 1 a staff sgt. Janet m.
