Marital status physical Handicap political affiliation or any other non ment Factor of the purchaser user of Patron women in combat it is a rare occurrence that the subject of females assuming combat roles particularly combat pilots arises without someone making the observation that its of with them a was Long As she can take this widespread notion betrays a Basic misunderstanding of the problems associated with the idea of making accessible to females this hitherto All male role. At Issue is not the question of whether a particular female who can perform a combat Mission As Well As or better than the average male should be excluded based upon her gender. At Issue is the desirability of establishing an environment in which women not Only can succeed in such roles but of politics and regardless of their individual capabilities must. While the term a quo task would certainly never be used in this context pressures would inevitably develop within the military Community to produce a a acceptable numbers of female combat pilots. In succumbing to pressures from such sources As the military inevitably must we begin the process of selecting and training females to fulfil combat roles based on their sex rather than their performance. The system evolved to produce the worlds finest combat pilots is fundamentally grounded in fair impartial but intense Competition. Only he Best Are currently invited to compete and even from among this elite group some Are not selected to Fly combat aircraft. And so it must be if we Are to maintain our status As the premiere world air Power. 1 do not believe the introduction of women into combat roles inherently represents a deterioration in our nations air warfare capability however Given the current nature of special interest politics and the reluctance of politicians to place military interests before personal and professional agendas such degradation is almost a certainty.

But to say that a military husbands have to endure much More than the military wife a military wives and husbands have More in common than you realize. The problem of obtaining employment is identical for military wives and husbands. Prospective Empl ers done to look favourably on applicants who have had frequent Job and career changes and done to want to hire someone who will be around for Only a few years. But has he Ever had an interviewer ask him a How Many children do you have a or a what does your wife do a i have also been told by other military spouses a you done to need to or work because your husbands an As he stated society expects the husband to be the breadwinner. But wives Are usually expected to be completely responsible for housework and child care in addition to holding paying jobs if they have. who a really got the toughest Deal and does it matter lets just hang in there together we military wives and husbands can better use our energies by supporting and helping each other while trying to understand each others problems.

In a writing in response to a writer who feels that government Money should be spent on cancer research instead of aids. His View was that even though the disease is killing innocent people a it is he had the Gall to say aids victims were infected by their own actions a As it aids is a disease one deliberately infects oneself with. What about a person who lives u Quot moral life and vet receives an infected blood transfusion aids research is Worth the Cost it takes to find a cure just As much As cancer or and other disease. How would this person feel if he were letters to the editor to become infected has he always lived a moral life aids can remain dormant for 10 years or More. What if he needed a blood transfusion and god forbid it was infected Well it w Ould be too bad if the government chose his Point of View. Thank god for us they Haven to.

I think that a a a Onyet Why should we pay for the .s.r.�?Ts last 70 years of communist despotism and petulance toward the Usa Gorby said head remove the missiles he a got pointing at us if we help him. Its Nice to help another country but not under Gorby a conditions.
