A fan of Raf police in the past i have written letters critical of the police Here at Raf Milden Hall. Well i would like to apologize to these police officers. I guess it takes being a victim of a crime to realize what these people do. I was assaulted outside the no club Here. A Security policeman who was off duty at the time saw the assault from the Balcony of the amp dorms across the Street and called the desk and got the police out to the scene very fast. I had already taken a punch to the face and several kicks before the police arrived. They took me from there to the station where i was patched up by the fire Rescue service. 1 was treated very professionally by the same people i had criticized before. 1 was taken to the Hospital by the Saccu Rity policeman who saw the assault from his Balcony. Although at the time i did no to thank this Man for what he did i want to thank him now. Before the assault i had a Low opinion of police in general because of the actions of some Texas cops. I now have a new Outlook on How the police work and i realize that they Are on the Job and doing Well. Please forgive me for anything in be said about Security policemen and their efforts and count me As one of their fans. \ a v1 v a a a a a. -. A Karl j. Chase or. Raf Mildenhall England set aside differences Tam writing about a Obue Herwald the horror lives on published april 18. I take exception to your dismissing the value of both the brochure and the movie. They Are no More slanted than your illustrious newspaper. Granted the brochure is slanted toward Ariti racist and therefore maybe socialist sentiments but along with jews this Camp contained Many Well known German anti fascists and soviet and polish prisoners of War. One of the most famous prisoners was Ernst Thalmann chairman of the communist party of Germany who was murdered aug. 17, 1944. Unlike Dachau which had mostly jewish inmates this Camp seemed to have had a wider variety of inmates. And even the nazis stressed the separateness of the groups on the Camp Gate which was inscribed with a Jed pm Das Seine a or a to each his  a a a a. So Why should t it be slanted toward the a fall for one attitude of socialism in fact brochures on the detention centers cells which now Are memorials say that a the names of communists social democrats protestants and roman catholics stand for All the victims. And remind us that All differences should be set aside in the fight against War and  a Susan l. Browder Mannheim Germany is getting Low priority i have taken part in operation desert storm for 4 i months now. What i want to say is not about troop movement maintenance or logistics but about taking care of soldiers. This Isnit happening when a Soldier must stand at a checkpoint in 108-de Grec temperatures and not be permitted to Roll up his sleeves. This Isnit happening when a Soldier is limited to two bottles of fresh hot water a Day while a mile away thousands Are Given out daily to refugees. A this Isnit happening when there is ice in Field trains six Miles away but none Here because it will melt or Isnit Worth the hassle to get it Are the refugees More important than the soldiers i say no. Are evaluation reports More important than the soldiers i say its questionable. Seems to me that As Long As we look Good and stay Sharp the Chain of command will come out clean. I just wish they would realize that their soldiers Are paying a High Price for their Success maybe a heat casualty will make them realize this but i doubt it. So non commissioned officers protect your men against heat casualties and ensure they drink plenty of water. Stay in uniform and it by Chance you get ice at your positions ensure your soldiers Don t eat it. It is for Cooling purposes Only. A a staff sgt. Adam j.

Special dietary needs regarding your article a muslims in the military on april 13, the army official was wrong when he stated that the army has the capacity to accommodate the dietary needs in the Field and in Garrison for vegetarians jews and muslims a. \ the Plain fact is that any observant jew or Muslim following traditional dietary practices cannot eat anything prepared in a mess facility. I  rations so that i can maintain a Kosher diet in Garrison. Contrary to any statement by any army official there Are no Field rations acceptable for use by either observant Quot muslims or jews serving in the .  a a a a a a. A v a a i have questioned every jewish Chap lain serving in saudi Arabia and Kuwait and none of them could agree with the army officials statement such statements Lead commanders and supervisors to believe that res meals ready to eat Are a satisfactory and religiously acceptable diet for soldiers with a Muslim or jewish background. Also the army made no provision for acceptable food for the dozens of kuwaiti soldiers who were attached to my unit the 201st military intelligence in 513th military intelligence brigade. Many of them were not observant but some were. Those who were had to leave Post to shop for groceries. It is amazing to me that an army which can Field a weapon to accurately shoot Down a scud missile can to come up with a meal packet that would be acceptable to vegetarians muslims and jews.
