A weight standards a recent letter showed the attitude exhibited by far too Many males in the military. The writer griped about female weight standards being loosened and that they should meet the same height and weight standards As men. Open your eyes and Check out army regulation 600-9. Male soldiers Are allowed considerably More weight than female soldiers of comparable height. If anything this is the True inequity. If you think that the body fat percentages should be the same then in a sure you would agree that the weight allowed for a female should be the same for a male of the same height. This is unless you Are just another biased male whining about How males receive the Short end of the stick. A sol 1st class Anthony l.

I am writing in response to the letter a abortion rights  this writer thought that her constitutional rights were being violated. First of All her right to have an Abor lion is not in the Constitution at least not mine. 1 Don t think the Constitution says that anyone can commit . That is what it is Isnit it the Constitution however does guarantee her the Freedom of speech which no one is trying to take away from Hertha is Why we have protest. It is our right. Second when someone signs a contract to enter the service they Are basically signing their body Over to the government. It becomes a piece of gov eminent equipment. The government can do anything it wants with it at any time. Letters to the editor taxpayers Money. Also could you please reprint the address for More information on the women a memorial foundation i can to find my  spec. Heidi l. Zellar Heidelberg Germany the address is women a Vietnam memorial women in military service for America memorial foundation inc., dept. 560, Washington . 20042-0560. In ave Knight Era gone i find it amazing that there Are males. Chauvinistic enough to believe that Only poor helpless women need their . Section. Can a Man honestly believe that by shielding a woman from War lie is ultimately protecting he death docs not discriminate. It touches males and females equally. According to recent statistics More individuals have been killed in one year in Road accidents than during the entire Vietnam War Era. Does this mean that All females should have their driving privileges suspended and be permanently locked in the House this is. Hardly realistic. The a time of the a Brave Knight res. Cuing the fair Damsel in distress is of a bygone Era. A a Quot. A. As far As saving the future of Ameri a by saving women for the purpose of procreation is concerned i doubt that Many women would successfully con Zeive without a Little help from men. Another question that conies to my. Mind is if a woman were a Crew member of a combat vehicle and were to fire on a vehicle with an All male Crew would they not be quite As dead because of their Superior physical strength granted there Are jobs in and out of combat arms. That require a. Certain amount of physical strength. These standards should be set indiscriminately of sex. I am quite certain that besides jus women there arc quite a few men unable or willing to meet the. Demands of the task. Time to got to work Well America we won one. The War in the persian Gulf was a resounding Success. Now there should be no doubt about americans military might and its. Resolve to use it we also showed the world once again that when we work together As a nation we can achieve anything. But now its time to apply that determination and National Fervour to the monumental task of a a rescuing a America. We have work that needs to be done at Home. Done to think so then think about this. As Vou drive Home in your ear tonight think about what country produced it. When you get Home Cheek the Baek of your to or Var and see who made it. Or if you re the athletic Type before you string up the Reebok and the air Jordans Cheek the a made in a Label on the Bottom to knows korean and a taiwanese. America is still no. 1. Our Gross National product is three times greater than Japan a and five times that of Germany our two biggest competitors. But the Gap is closing tast. 1 hat Means we need to Start seriously liking care of business at Home. Before we spend another si2 million on a Parade lets see it we can build More and better schools or see if we can produce More scientists and engineers and take Baek the Lead As researchers and developers. This is so the next time we invent something like the except for incest or rape if a woman i am not saying that All women have does not want to handle the response Iii the desire to join combat arms. From Ity of raising children she should take the numbers of male arid female con preventive measures before engaging in Sci envious objectors it is evident that sexual activity. Or better yet just done to do it. A sgt. Steven Sherg Lan Stuhl Germany Aid sought Lor memorial in response to the Reader who a against a memorial for the women who served in desert storm the article read a a women a memorial fund raisers hoping for More donations due to recent desert storm.�?�. A committee has been working for the past three years toward a a women in services a memorial to be built Corner of the Arlington cemetery. It would be for All women who have Ever served their country in the armed forces whether in time of War or not. Congress voted on and passed the foundations request Tor the land and denied the request for the needed to build the memorial. It is being paid Tor solely by private and. Commercial donations. Quot a. The memorial will hear the names of women who screed from the revolutionary War to the present. Quot a $25 donation is sent along with the name and a Brief paragraph history dates awards assignments Etc of the person being submitted. Let me stress this one More time it is being built by donations and not the in a Money members of both sexes have reservations toward the idea of combat.
