The thing he failed to Point out was that if Kyed really wanted to be fair it should show the and cons of the Story. If it televised the execution Kyed. Should also televise the police pictures of the victim of the Man to be executed. But i doubt that would happen. The Media complained about censorship during the persian Gulf wary but they practice censorship of 1 lie m selves. As a gun owner i Sec this every Day. The press tells us that there were 22,000 murders in the United states last year but then it fails to Analyse the numbers. The press just gives us propaganda about gun control. Do the Media show How Many people wore killed with knives no they done to. Do the Media say that gun control Laws have actually failed in such places As new York los Angeles and even Washington .? no. Neither do the Media mention that of those .22,000 a murders a 3,000 to 4,000 of these kill Ings were made by Law abiding gun owners defending themselves from violent criminals. Just ask yourself if you have Ever seen the news Media show firearms in a positive sense. In be never seen a National Rifle pistol or trap and skeet championship televised nor have i Ever seep the results of these matches on the a sports Section of the 6 o clock news. Think about the last time Tom Bro Kaw said anything on the news about a million crimes being thwarted every year by Law abiding citizens with firearms. In the interest of fairness the Media should Tell the Public both sides of any Issue then the Public can make up its own mind armed with the facts.

Letters to the editor advocating education this is in reference to your recent letter in which the was a bothered by Low score of 2 for the education Field on the monthly counselling form. A. A the army heeds educated soldiers. Being in combat arms and always in the Field Are no excuses for a Soldier not to pursue a higher education. / soldiers can receive College credits for military experience and there Are video College courses a Clep College level examination program Dantes etc., a that do not require class attendance. Correspondence courses Are also beneficial in improving a soldiers knowledge in the primary military occupational specially Ana in learning about other military occupational specialities. They Are Worth promotion Points. Correspondence course booklets can be carried studied and completed anywhere. By the Way some correspondence courses Are Worth College credits a Soldier who takes no initiative to better himself deserves an a i a the lowest possible score in the education Field. What has this Soldier accomplished in furthering his education to receive a a a a score "7 a Ivoyd single Parent. This is in response to a no special v. I am a male sergeant who drives 8s-m trucks and also As of five years ago a single Parent. I am currently supporting operation desert storm. 1 have been in the National guard for 14 years. In the past years i have often asked myself a what would do with my kids if i were to go to War a on Dee. 5 1 had to answer that question. I made arrangements with my family members to take care of my children then i proudly shipped out with my company to the persian Gulf. I never once tried to get out of my obligations to the military. 1 strongly disagree with the military a cutbacks on single parents. In my ease those cutbacks would create real final Cial problems. After All i was and still am ready to Lay Down my life for my to Linley my children and our Freedom. A sgt. Edwin j. Marrs operation desert storm Sppmal Roro Odiol Many people have complained that their units Haven to been recognized for doing this first or that the fastest now that those units have been recognized and the facts set straight i wish to recognize the following people a everyone with a civilian vehicle who told their subordinates Quot downtown is off limits Kiili then continually broke their own directive. Lead by example a the officers and no who said that the Auto Yon line in the tactical of a Qutul Opportunity rep Pat Schroeder d-colo., was recently quoted As saying. A a it a about time we recognized the skilled and talented women of our this rings very True especially in the area of physical fitness. A a men Are required to do More pushups sit ups and run faster than women of the same age. This is simple discrimination. Physical fitness is a critical aspect of readiness. Vlf women truly want to be deployed in combat they should compete equally for the duty. One Only needs to spend some time in an airborne unit to know that too Many weak men and women Are getting in because of Low standards. The True test of our military is yet to come. Not every Battle will be a rout. I propose one Standard. of age and sex mos military occupation Naf specially an fasl additional skill identifier should he the qualifying factors. Non commissioned officers should be graded on the same scale As the troops they Lead. The minimum standards for rangers acid airborne would be at the top of the scale while those with an mos that requires less Brawl would he placed along the scale. Also there should be no upper limit. Troops continue to Max it physical training tests even after the 1986 Rise in standards. If a Servie member can Miles in 10 minutes then he or she should get credit for it. The increase of the 3 h scale to 400 would be a great motivational Factor a a i support women s efforts for Equality but not at the expense of readiness common sense and fair play. A staff sgt. , Haney Heidelberg Germany the answer to the question a what am i to do a is simple. Visit your local education Center and mos Library. If the Mission makes it impossible to spend a few minutes visiting the Library take a Day of leave. It will be time Well spent.
