Take us two months to move up to the town of Dozhuk and push the iraqi army Back a few Kilometres South of that town. The marines secured the Valley but it was the 3rd in of 325th airborne in combat team that conveyed up to a few Kilometres South of Sirsen securing the Airfield and then pushing to just outside of Dozhuk. The whole thing took us five Days. It was our co b that had the most hell. They were within a half a Kilometre of the. Dam of Dozhuk which had the elite iraqi army All Over it. They were the ones who had some recon and scouts attacked who actually crawled All the Way to the base of the dam and marked land mines. Now in a not saying it was Only the 3rd in of the 325th. We had a lot of support from 502th aviation and 3rd inf div aviation plus a-10 and f-16 pilots. Sure we had some marines around us but it was we who were in control of any sort of land movement or land strike. We were the main ground forces. Great Job everyone including those not mentioned. A pfc. Steven Jansen Vicenza Italy a word for Bobingen i have read with interest of the special forces whining about having to move to Panzer Cavern in Bobingen. They Haven to even moved yet so How do they know what they Are getting into 1 was stationed at Panzer for 12 years from july 1979 until june of this year. If it Hadnot been for my units deactivating i would have stayed until january 1992 when i retire yes Bobingen is a larger City than bad Tolz and the scenery might not be As Nice but it is still a Nice place to live and work. The local people always treated us with respect and made us feel  special forces done to judge a Book by its a Over. Wait until you get there and Check the place out for yourself. And remember not everyone gets to go where they want to go. You get to go where Uncle Sam sends you. Cheer up you just might like it. A staff sgt. John c.

You did no to read about the landmark study on battered children done in 1980 at the University of Southern  studied 674 battered children and found that 91 percent of those children were wanted and planned for compared with 63 percent for the control groups nationally. A common Factor among the parents of these children was that they grew up in hostile environments and were abused themselves. If abortion is supposed to help curtail child abuse because every child born will be a wanted child Why is child abuse on the Rise i agree parents need help in raising their children but to allow one evil to try to counterbalance another evil is not working. Let us look for solutions to protect the welfare of All children born and reborn. A Deborah Lara Spang Ahleia Germany Cut out dealing feature As the army tries to save Money and combat fraud waste and abuse 1 have come up with an idea. It will require sacrifice on All our. Parts especially those who prefer to let their fingers do the walking. What i recommend is that the army take out the dealing feature on All ets phones. The offices that need to Call out look up in the sky. Its a Bird its a plane. No its the United states. As soon As Iraq invaded Kuwait i started packing my bags. I knew we would be the first ones to the Rescue. Then to make matters worse we Only did the Job Halfway during the War. Why not go All the Way in and make Baghdad Little America of silly me that would have made too much sense. If we had done that we  be playing these Little games with Saddam and the kurd. A he must still be laughing at us. After All what have we done to him he still has All the wealth he stole from Kuwait. He a still in Power. In Short we gave reasoning questioned this letter is in response to a Swiss know their  the writer said a crime rates Are a function of National character not  what exactly do you mean by that the United states has by far the highest crime rate per a an have Bunde Spost phones with coun capita along with the most guns. Do you ers an j Ujj have to log their Calls mean a your National character is one of High crimes. The reason Hitler backed away from Switzerland is primarily because of the fact that Switzerland did not fit into his military objective at that time it eventually would have and the Swiss were wearing two faces similar to the French. They had an anti fascist underground but also helped finance the War for Germany Italy and the soviet Union As Well As the allies. They be always had a thing for Money. Secondary reasons Are that Hitler did not want to commit troops who would have had to travel very mountainous terrain to capture a country he thought would fall to his army anyway. Swiss marksmanship no this did not place much fear in the nazi War machine. A sgt. 1st class Gary Yates Niernberg Germany the rest of us will have to use pay phones or walk to the motor Pool to Check on our Crews. Do not allow the battalion level staffs to use radios with 1 rectifiers As this defeats the purpose. Not Only will the army save Money on unauthorized Calls but also the  pie will be Able to Call their unit after supper without the cd charge of quarters tying up the phone. And who 1 knows maybe we will All be in better shape if we have to walk to that other office or building to get that needed information. Or maybe we will decide that the information was not that needed after All. A sgt. 1st class h.�. Gilbert or. Amberg Germany pen pals i enjoy wet China movies s. Am 22. Duke can to be trusted it is an insult to the intelligence of afro americans and other minorities to Sec Louisiana rep David Duke still trying to bring Back the Jim Crow Laws. In his speeches Duke denotes his obsession with welfare and other Federal benefits. He is always under the wrong Assumption that All Blacks Are Lazy and like to receive welfare benefits. I think he is a Wolf in sheep a clothing.
