Moskau Iii operation desert Storin # a family support lacking i am very Happy with my family life in the military except when it comes to the military family support projects my husband served in saudi Arabia along with a lot of other married soldiers. Since their return we have not been Able to get on a list for the  free Berchtesgaden or Garmisch trip. It seems the last three buses that have gone were for single soldiers Only. Now i see an and in your paper about winning  travel  but again it Only pays for two people. So Tell me of you know of anyone who can watch my or anyone else a kids for 21 Days. That Way we can have a Chance at entering the contest too. A i whatever happened to a the military takes care of families a we. Need to. Have fun and recreation too.

Nii isl step in it was depressing to read about the Way the kuwaiti government tried alleged collaborators. Without knowing the details it would be difficult to say which of the accused was sentenced unfairly. What was apparent from the article was the Lack of due process and the highly touted a Rule of  in similar circumstances 1 would be proud to go fight against a regime that condones and even promotes psychotic criminal behaviour and aggression. But i wont quietly sit by and watch As the sacrifices of my comrades Are turned into a hypocritical charade that directly contradicts the spirit of the . Resolutions that justified our actions there. Were the War crime trials in Nair Sherg conducted in this manner should we Compromise our principles again id a maintain a cozy relationship with an Oil Rich country the United nations must use its newfound political clout to Stop. This. The world has an enormous stake in seeing True Utice restored in Kuwait.  staff sgt. Jeff Sontag Stuttgart Germany a. A ,.  As lie pointed out Are has the ability to ascertain which Loans were desert shield storm related and the authority to forgive those. Loans should be forgiven based on the need of the Borrower not simply because they were taken out lie tween certain dates. The Way Are handled this Issue was perceived As a Giveaway t his perception has seriously damaged the credibility of Are and its leadership. The result will probably be not Only a very non productive fund drive in 1991, hut future years As Well. A. .a Robert a.

Dennis l. Johnson Stuttgart Germany background on Ikea to set the record straight 1 want to add the following about Ikea furniture faulty rationale l read with some amazement the answer Leonard j. Harmon ii Deputy director of army emergency Relief gave As to Why Are forgave All Loans from aug. 1 to feb. 28. As a disinterested party a civilian ineligible for Are Loans feel the rationale used to justify the action fails to meet the common sense test. Or. Harmon stated that they did not want Are to come out of the War Richer. Why not would t Black Ink look Good on the ledgers for a change if unsolicited contributions swelled the Are coffers then let All soldiers Benefit by not having an Are fund raising drive in 1991. There Are a lot of enlisted soldiers out there who really can t afford to contribute to Are hut get pressured by the Chain of command to participate. To forgive an enormous debt then to immediately go out and solicit contributions brings the kind of reaction and right la so you saw from the letter  of islam in recent weeks i have read several interesting defences of islam in this Section. Two readers defended american sol. Diers who refused to embark for operation desert storm with their unit because killing fellow muslims is proscribed by their religion. This is incongruous did t the. Whole thing Start a when Bine Muslim country invaded tin other killing those who resisted Haven to such killings gone on for cent ties is this belief True or just Conven  Reader defended the woman a place in islam explaining How she is revered Etc. While women play an important part in the various Muslim cultures they generally cannot aspire to Equality with men in this modern world a Muslim woman can still be divorced by a simple act of the husband and she is entitled to one months sustenance from him nothing else including the children. In the More orthodox countries women must cover their faces and bodies completely Are not allowed to drive must ride in separate sections of Public transportation to which males do not have Access cannot work in jobs in which they would Deal with males a May not own property in their own names if married and if widowed or divorced become virtual untouchables in the Socie. It a.  a. I m not objecting to the religion just the Way it May be misinterpreted or misapplied by supporters or converts from the primary religions of our own culture. Or. Doug Williams Heidelberg Germany bight to hear arms the proposed Brady Bill in itself innocuous exposed some disturbing attitudes among gun control proponents. The idea that the. Militia addressed in the Constitution s second amendment is something More official than a latent citizen army is one such attitude i hut interpretation gives us As much Freedom As the people of the . Ikea is not a German company. It was started in Al Hulf a Small town in the province of Sealand in Southern Sweden about 40 years ago the company is the Effort and hard work of a Man named Inguar Kamprad in in the name Ikea who started with a Small furniture factory in an old barn on his father in Laws farm. A Quot a the idea was to Cut the delivery costs for the customer. So he sold his furniture in Small pieces with instructions and tools included to put them together. The company grew because the idea. And Ikea a prices were and Are great. Today Ikea is represented i n All countries in Western Europe plus Virginia and Philadelphia in the United states. The head office and the factory test Plant All furniture is sold with so called Mobel Faketa which is a Quality test is still located in Alm Hult Sweden. Its also still 49 percent owned by the family Kamprad. The Gernian Boss for Ikea is swedish and his name is Ebbe Pelle Jacobsen.  i Low can i possibly know All this i am swedish. 1 purchased my first furniture from Ikea Gothenburg in 1961.
