I was the non commissioned officer in charge of missile reload for a Patriot unit that was in Southwest Asia. My teams and i crossed Miles of desert to pick up transport and deliver Patriot missiles. I received nothing for being in operation desert storm. While i was in Iraq during the War i was told that i was padres Angels cardinals and Blue devils. When you get right Down to it most athletic team names probably offend someone a perception of political correctness. And those names that done to Are usually pretty Bland. What is a a met a 1 suppose no group can become upset Over the new Denver baseball franchise calling itself the Colorado Rockies. That is unless a group of politically Correct geologists starts feeling its Oats. Letters to the editor destroying everyone a wildlife. A senior airman Brent l. Dicks Hahn a German Hunting has its place even an intelligent person can be grossly misinformed As the writers of a blasting the warts and a animals were Here first have so admirably shown. Here a what i mean in the past 20 years Hunters and fish flawed because of one sit up. I had and Nob e Here of a my Las it lest hey told me Jve Ayme icons and wan their players to emulate that image. I should think indians would be proud of and enjoy the. Success of this years Atlanta braves. Lets not get so carried away with the quest for political correctness that we failed my last it which was an error. The right people were shown they were wrong but documents were falsified to show they were right. My message is to those who went saw did and returned is that our medals our ribbons Are in our hearts and in our minds and that a the highest award you can receive. We know what we did and where we were. A Kennie Mcrae Gie Belstadt German treated like children being single is not a disease but we Are treated like infantile immature people. Granted there Are some who Arentt mature enough to clean their own rooms and need close supervision but i think 1 can speak for the majority. 1 am an no with 5vi years in service. God knows i would love to have my own place but with the Cost of living in Germany its not very feasible along with paying for classes to get an education and other ways to better myself. So we All done to spend our Money on partying and other frivolous things. I done to think a recent writer knows what its like to trudge Down the Hall past the cd desk usually crowded with people just to take a Shower. And to add to the embarrassment no hot water. I can recall hundreds of cold showers because no one did anything about it even though complaints were made continually. We done task for much except some privacy responsibility for ourselves and actions and the Opportunity to make our rooms As comfortable As we can. I mean this is our Home for 24 to 36 months Isnit it i am scheduled for an itt Intra theater Transfer and was told by my division sergeant major that if my new unit did t have storage space since the Barracks Are filled beyond capacity that 1 could store my personal belongings in the trunk of my car. 1 guess being single also Means that you can to have the same things married people have. It All we re asking for is consideration and some positive support. A sgt. Tracy d. Wright Ansbach Germany seriously although i am not a native Ermen in America have spent $13 Bil american i can see Little reason for Jjon on conservation and wildlife Man them to protest. Teams that use Indian gement through License fees and taxes names do so because they Admire the on sporting goods. Without this funding a in the future you can say goodbye to millions of acres of Forest and wetlands and the wildlife that lives there. The Wolf and the Cougar Are gone from the Eastern states. Its up to us to take their place As a control on expanding Whitetail Deer populations.

Recently an individual wrote about some Hunters who trapped Deer in an enclosure and then shot them when they had no place to go. We All need to realize that those people Are not Hunters they Are poachers. There is a big difference. Through licenses and taxes on sporting goods sportsmen foot the Bill for conservation efforts such As buying new land for Parks and preserves paying salaries for game wardens and educating future Hunters about ethics values and safety. Sportsmen Long ago realized the need to regulate Hunting in some Way. Now it is illegal to Hunt from a vehicle use a machine gun and waste meat. There Are Many other regulations regarding the conduct of Hunters in the Field. Sportsmen enacted these regulations and True Hunters will abide by them. If you arc not familiar with these regulations look them Over so you can recognize them when someone is breaking the Law and act accordingly. Almost All states have poaching hot lines where anyone can turn in a poacher and maybe earn a Reward. Its time to Stop harassing anyone in Blaze Orange carrying a Rifle and focus a Campaign against the saints deacons on the real problem poachers who Are culling. Without it the Deer will die because the land can Only support so Many Deer. These principles can be applied in Europe As Well As in America or anywhere else. So by elimination of Hunting you advocate habitat destruction and mass starvation of an entire species and yet Call me cruel. A Ronald k. Graham Hahn a German encouraging disrespect in response to the letter concerning teen agers who would not Honor the National Anthem at the cafes theater i would like to make an observation. What i saw recently really discouraged me and May be the reason Why those Young people did not show proper respect to their Flag and country. One afternoon moments before Retreat sounded the shuttle bus i was waiting for arrived. After All the passengers got off and a few others got on Retreat sounded. Military members in uniform did not Salute the Flag. Instead they hurried to get on the bus. From where i was standing the Flag was in Plain sight. Having been a military dependent since age 8,1 knew that i was to stand still facing the Flag. I also knew that traffic must Stop. Since the traffic was stopped the bus could not depart anyway. Had it been inclement weather 1 could possibly understand that was not the Case. Maybe those a obscene teen agers noticed such actions in their own military communities As i have in mine. A Elizabeth Adams Raf Mildenhall England much ado about names lets Hope the current native american protests about the naming of professional and University athletic teams braves indians redskins seminoles chiefs warriors and fighting Lollini does no to spread to other groups in a continuing quest for political correctness.
