Letters to the editor fat policy unfair in reference to recent articles in the stars and stripes about the army a new weight control program i cry foul. The army is loosening the requirements for body fat standards for women. This is contrary to the recently published policy for men. To me this is blatant discrimination. Women Are All crying about be ing Good soldiers and about discrimination against them. Why Arentt they required to meet the same standards As men a including physical and weight standards in a tired of hearing that women Are different. Lets have one weight and physical Standard for soldiers. The recent enclosed comic strip hit the Nail on the head. A chief warrant officer 2 Monte a Caylor Mainz German who won the War the War is Over. Three months later i still ask who has won this is not ironic coming from a Soldier who participated in the ousting of Samdani Hussein. In a currently positioned in Kuwait City where the total spectrum of what happened Here is inescapable. .7 Samdani terrorized Kuwait and killed and tortured to his hearts Content. He appeased the sadist in himself As he linked the kurd and kuwaitis in blood ties and tides of blood. He became their personification of satan. Through water through air and finally through human tragedy Saddam has managed to leave me with a profane taste in my Mouth. I share the condition of sourness with multitudes of kuwaitis and kurd Saddam still has a Pillitary a quite battered one., but nonetheless a military capable of committing further crimes. He has done what i thought to be Yir tally impossible. He conquered and fled with enough of his military to grow on and he also kept his country and his life a a a v a a Quot a a a a it s frightening to Ponder but if Hitler would be been equally cunning and devious old Stihrer May have been Able to pull a  / a my Only Hope is that if Justice does t come by conventional Means May it come poetically.

Clemens Karlstedt Germany Brady Bill ineffective advocates claim the Brady Bill will provide for a background Check on gun purchasers to determine if they have a criminal record or Are mentally unstable and provide a a Cooling off period if someone gets so irate that he wants to shoot somebody. Do you think that a criminal will subject himself to a waiting period the Bill states that a background Check is hot required to be conducted anyway. If legislators Are going to propose ridiculous Bills they should at least try to make them somewhat effective. The overwhelming majority of murders Are committed by people who have acquired their guns illegally or have had them Tor some time previously. What Good does it do it harasses Law abiding citizens and chips away at our most Basic rights. A senior airman Brent Dicks Hahn a Germany a a pen pals i am 14 years old and i like to dance Chili with my friends go to the movies House parties and to the Bowling Alley. A ,. A Latonya r. Sikes a pc Box 37 Apo new York 09021. I am 34 years old i would like to write to people All Over the world. A Catherine Bland. A. 91 Broadstone re. Yardley Birmingham b26 2b4 England a. I am 26 and a business major. I am planning to spend my one year work placement within the United states so i would like to know something about the states before t went Here. I like to receive and write letters listen to music keep fit and travel. A sue Wilson 67 Titchfield Road Biddick Washington Tyne and Wear ne38 7ju England death penalty needed the Only people gun control hurts is the Law abiding gun owner. We have Laws that these criminals fear the death penalty is one. But the very same  pie who want to Stop the criminal through gun control Are Many of the people against capital punishment. If we can determine a person is a career criminal and we know that career criminals Are going to commit crimes their entire lives Why let them out to victimize someone else Why pay the court costs to try them again or pay for them to sit in an already overcrowded prison system capital punishment could take care of the career criminal who is not do to Rcd from crime by other things. This would also deter Many others from continuing to commit crimes. O. If this recent Survey is Correct then it can be determined that if 30 criminals Are deterred because 13 others were executed it would save 6,880 victims a year. That would Cut the crime rate save taxes and ease prison overcrowding. A a a 7 then again i done to claim to be an expert. A sgt. Ill. Cozad or. Bundlach Germany no Compromise on rights our Bill of rights is based upon the 1776 Virginia declaration of. Rights. George Mason the Man who wrote it said a i ask who Are the militia they consist now of the whole people excepting a few Public  if a the right of the people Quot to keep and Bear arms really Means the police and military then who Are a the people in the fourth amendment who Are protected against unreasonable search and seizure. \ a 7 a the right to keep and Bear arms Means to own and carry weapons. The  that this is limited to government agencies is clearly rubbish. The second amendment is the defense of the people against Domestic tyranny. That is Why the militia that is the people were to be a a Well regulated a i.e., Well organized and Well armed with weapons not under the control of the state. One need Only read the federalist papers to know this. Number 46, by James Madison is a Good place to Start. Every part of the Bill of flights has a Cost. The right to free speech applies to Neo nazis too. The right to due process under Law sometimes puts those guilty of heinous crimes on the Street. If the right to keep and Bear arms is open to a Compromise a As a recent writer puts it because it has had unpleasant Side effects How much Compromise is the rest of the Constitution open to a capt. .
