He suggests that if the group wanted to do something useful it should buy up land and put it off limits to Hunting. First almost All of petals work goes toward prevention of lab testing on animals factory farms and fur Trade. Secondly not even the biggest businesses could buy enough land to prevent Hunters from going elsewhere. Another writer Calls vegetarians a a naive because a the increased needs of crop land yields for human consumption greatly reduce habitat needed for the survival of Many species of  he obviously does no to realize that at least 90 percent of the food grown in the United states goes to animals. Another writer suggested that it was a Hunters responsibility to prevent overpopulation of animals. Does he actually think that he and other Hunters can do a better Job than Mother nature has been doing for millions of years a David j. Hansen Pitburg Germany a a Case of mistaken identity first of All let me say i really enjoy your publication for two reasons. It gives the news that a a Normal papers done to cover our military up close and it was born in my Hometown Bloomfield mo., and that gives me a great sense of Pride. The reason for this letter is in response to the caption on Page 1 on nov. 13. The helicopter is identified As a Navy helicopter when in fact it is a ch-530 assigned to heavy Marine helicopter so 362 embarked aboard the amphibious assault ship Saipan lha-2. Even though there was a mistake in the identification the a ugly Angels Are thrilled to be shown in your paper. A staff sgt. Doyle w. Reagan Marine Mobile units Atlantic a a circumstances matter this is in regard to a Call abortion what it  the writer states a abortion regardless of procedure is ultimately  later he states that the circumstances do not matter and that in allowing abortion we Are violating the Laws of our own humanity. Lets take a closer look at this. If i were to go out into the Street and shoot and kill someone then i have committed murder. If i were to go out into the Street and someone came up to me with a weapon and threatened to kill me and i kill him have i committed murder no our Laws say that it was self defense. So it seems that even though there was a killing in both situations the circumstances do make a difference. Therefore abortion regardless of procedure is ultimately killing not murder. What determines whether a killing was murder or not you can say that it is determined by our Laws but what is their basis it deals with a a right Quot that i have never seen properly defined in the Media. That is the a right to  in the first example i unjustly took a life. In the second 1 took a life justly. So murder is taking a life unjustly. Therefore the a right to life is the right to not have your or any other life taken unjustly. So it seems that not Only do circumstances matter they Are the Only thing that matter. One final thing. The full quote on Laws from the writer was a in allowing this destructive behaviour to continue we As humans Are undermining the Laws of god As Well As those of our own  you will notice that i Haven to mentioned god in my letter. This is because no one has the right to Force their beliefs or Lack thereof on anyone else. That includes our government and the Laws it enacts. Check your Constitution. A sgt Richard b. Roche Wurzburg Germany Home Foy unwanted i am responding to the letter a Call abortion what it  i want to thank the writer for revealing to the Public once again what abortion really is As if we did no to know already. It amazes me that people can be so ignorant to think society does no to have a clue about a subject that for years has caused heated debate Between organizations with a Long standing knowledge of the Issue. But since the writer seems so concerned with saving society from its lackadaisical attitude toward everything i will personally make sure that All the unwanted children bom to Young girls who had no Access to birth control to women who will Bear children in impoverished nations and to families beating their children from Lack of want or care Are placed on his Doorstep. In a sure he will want to care for each and every one of them. I mean its the most realistic thing to do right a Liz Heusle Sermersheim Germany a a support for investigators this to in reference to and support of the dec. 1 edition of the stars and stripes sunday Magazine featuring Arthur Fletcher and Michael Lamberg. These two gentlemen Are evidently Well educated and Well aware of the equal Opportunity problems within the military. Though being civilians with their prior service records they Are i feel the Best qualified for the role that they have been appointed to perform. Civilian qualified equal Opportunity personnel would be much More qualified and non biased at performing inspections and investigations of the military a equal Opportunity program. The military a equal Opportunity representatives Are usually unqualified or letters to the editor at times biased to perform their responsible duties which leaves the program and soldiers in a state of defeat. In some cases when a Soldier or individual identifies an equal Opportunity problem he most Likely becomes the victim afterwards. These soldiers and individuals should be protected against this Type of pressure from others within their command or office who do this or permit it to happen. It is time that this matter is brought out. I Only Pray that people All Over will listen and open their eyes. A sgt. 1st class . Richard Dharan saudi Arabia a questions on aids in response to the letter a disgraces not heroes a perhaps if it was Larry Bird or Kevin Mchale who a had sex with All those women and contracted his instead of magic Johnson your views would probably be a Little different. Would you then say they Are a National disgrace this virus As Well As the disease itself is also striking our Young people through blood transfusions Etc. Would they gain your support or your criticism a Brenda s. Turner Wiesbaden Germany a a Cooke a life is Tough t am writing in response to the letter a same old  As a Cooke a wife i know firsthand How difficult being a Cook in the army is. While All the other soldiers Are going Home every Day around 4 30 ., Cooks never get Home until after 7  They Are always the first to leave for the Field and the last to come Home. Do All the other military personnel have to work during All the major holidays i done to think so. The Cooke a family has to eat thanksgiving and Christmas dinner in the mess Hall just so they can be with their spouse. The Cooks have regulations just like everyone else. They have to prepare the meals in the mess Hall the Way the army tells them to. Change the regulations and maybe the meals will change. Yes 1 am bitter. Tell me How the Cooks can sculpt a replica of Mickey mouse out of Marzipan while they also Are standing in mud at Grafe Wohr. There Are very few schools and competitions for military Cooks and its even harder for them to get into them. The Cooks have the toughest jobs in the army. No one has the right to put them Down. Cooks Are a part of the army just As much As anyone else. They have a right to go to schools and have competitions As much As anyone else. It is a shame that so few people appreciate All the hard work and extra Effort that the Cooks put in to keep our soldiers fed.
