Letters to the editor Justice miscarried it is amazing How an individual who was found guilty of negligent homicide Only received six months Worth of punishment demotion of one rank and forfeiture of $200 pay a month for six months. Why did no the receive the maximum sentence of life in prison Why Wasny the discharged from the air Force it is appalling to think that we May one Day have to serve with this Man. It is obvious that the death of a 6-month-old girl Means Little to the panel of six officers handing Down the sentence. Somehow the Case was botched up beyond recognition of the True Issue. A baby girl is dead and had obvious signs of child abuse As described in the article. A airman 1st class Michael w. Carl 39th comm so in Ciurlik Turkey a solving the problems i am a up to Here with military members crying discrimination and or reverse discrimination. Its Long past time for All of us to realize the military is not a social Experiment its Mission of defending the nation cannot be compromised and it requires the utmost Confidence in our leaders and our fellow soldiers. We have Good leaders and yes we Are entitled to leadership that will make the army a future better than its past. I believe that each one of us must provide that leadership by giving of our time talents and ideas. Instead of complaining do this if when you have or see a problem sit Down and Analyse the situation. In most cases the solution is obvious. Then hand the problem and solution to the individual with the Power to Correct the situation. I followed this advice and was promoted three times in four years a e-4 to e-7. Try it. It works. A John w. Johnson Wall Pirn Germany thank cud for no cps this is in reference to the letter a Chance to undo  it is indeed a shame that one who should be somewhat educated should persist in such ignorance by stating that the a act is a socialist organization that they members of the group hate Clarence Thomas every Black Many a Uncle because of his religious and political beliefs and that the continuing conspiracy to eliminate the Black family which would bring out the criminal element in anything human is not really an oppressed people lashing out against a wicked society and system but just criminals getting a a a kick out of their wrongdoings. I often wonder what crime did or. Martin Luther King jr., Eleanor bumpers Michael Stewart Yusef Hawkins or Rodney King commit the Leader of the a act Benjamin Hooks after conferring with president Bush decided to support Thomas. It was even More absurd to state that members hate a Uncle Thomas for his traditional Jude Christian values because the organization itself is mainly a Christian one. Black people Are economically spiritually educationally and mentally brainwashed. While i Bear witness that nothing replaces hard work to promote self advancement How Many of our nationalistic leaders who have advocated just that have been assassinated or harassed if we try to elevate ourselves the corporate conspiracy works against us and kills our leaders. If we just sit Back then we Are accused of being Lazy. So respectfully i suggest that this writer and his counterparts in thought thank god for the a act instead of the Mau Mau or Black panthers. I suggest that you thank god for Uncle Thomas submissive form of religion instead of islam. Islam is the religion that your founding fathers . Washington Jefferson Hamilton admired practice in secret As shrines and placed All Over the Dollar Bill. Again you should thank god for former supreme court Justice Thurgood Marshall and his delicate policies instead of having minister Farrakhan on the High court. A spec.

This self immolation is enhanced by the dredging up of professor Anita Hill whose imminent a ointment As the a Rosa Parks of the feminist movement will be More financially rewarding for her than tenure at any University. The More reluctant she appears to be the larger her Bank account will become. Oliver North parlayed similar congressional notoriety into speaking engagements on the lecture circuit at $25,000 a pop. He loves to talk too. A much maligned and scrutinized Congress can now take the rubber Check Monkey off of members collective backs and criticize an incumbent president and his political party for inattention to Domestic issues and their perception of his absorption with foreign policy. This will not solve any of the problems facing the country but will make for More exciting television. A practical example of the a if you can to Blind them with brilliance baffle them with Bull theory. The Public As usual comes out the loser while being entertained at a level of pour hence we be come to expect from supermarket tabloids and daytime soap operas. An unfortunate part of the history of Black african people in America is that we be always been used against each other. Muhammad Ali realized this in the �?T60s while in his Cassius Clay incarnation and used Floyd Patterson and later even the Young George Foreman in an inventive manner. It is the old House Field syndrome. Employment in the House for the master is preferable to employment in the Field for the master. Hill is bucking hard for employment in the House which could relegate Thomas Back to the Field. Whether it is the Book to movie interview circuit or canonization As a latter Day female Martin Luther King jr., the professors ticket is punched. Thomas ticket May just be punched out. It is interesting to observe that the ethnic profile of the judges female detractors is opposite to that of his spouse and the majority of his female defenders. There is a lesson to be Learned there too. Once again we re being used against each other and very Well indeed. It will take a machiavellian mind to extricate the Republican party from this debacle a unfortunately Lee Atwater passed away this year. The tap dancing that will come promises More entertaining theatrics but at the risk of substance Over contrivance. The american Public continues to be the loser baffled by Bull from legislators whose Only brilliance appears to be in the discreet accumulation of the finer things in life. A sgt. Maitland m. Romain Guinzburg Germany advocating recycling in a very glad that they made a new Law about recycling because a lot of Trees Are Cut Down to make paper. I try to Recycle. I Recycle paper plastic and cans. When i was in second Grade i Learned a lot about recycling. A Jennifer Jarboe 3rd Grade Augsburg Germany the character ingredient be a Man. Be Humble. It takes character determination and guts to be Humble. Yes sheer guts. Anyone can be rough. Anyone can condemn. Anyone can be abusive. No guts needed there. Remember that humility is not a sign of weakness. Rather it is an indication of strength. All your Good qualities will be recognized. Done to throw them about. Be considerate. Again it takes character determination and guts not to criticize look Down on and sneer at another. Rather it takes character nay guts to recognize that everyone cannot be As smart and knowledgeable As ourselves. Be considerate. Once again remember that being considerate toward others does in no Way denote weakness. It denotes strength. Be modest. And once again it takes character determination and guts not to publish our Superior knowledge. Do not try to ram your ideas Down the Throat of another. It takes no measure of character to expect everyone to believe and accept your ideas and concepts. It takes no guts to condemn those who do not fall in with your views. Rather it takes a lot of determination and character to say a the is an individual and has a right to his Way of thinking. I can Only express my ideas and  help others to be Happy. Be a Man.
