News is news regardless of the nature. Everyone does not have the same interest. I personally could care less about astronauts and satellites. So what complain that i done to want to read Boring material no it does no to work like that. I Felt the a a news about the woman who Cut out her own breast implants was extremely important. I had breast implants that gave me a lot of problems. Although 1 use her method of removal 1 had great difficulty finding a doctor to remove them. By Chance Luck and after a lot of frustration i found a doctor to perform the surgery. Apparently this woman was in the same situation if not worse. I understand what this woman went through and i want to read about it. I m sorry i missed this article on the breast implant Issue which the writer called but i did hear it on the radio so it must have been something printable. A enamel rom Giessen Germany a a a care Isnit the same this letter is in response to the article a medical chief urges use of local hospitals May 13citing maj. Gen. Michael j. Scottie or. Like Pontius Pilot Scottie is washing his hands of the circumstances that follow when a family member or Active duty Soldier gets medical care on the local Economy. The standards of care of the Economy Are far below those required in american hospitals. There is to patient my of rights m local hospitals. Most German doctors do not speak English. The germans do not want us. Yes they want our Money but not at the Cost of Hospital Beds for their citizens. I can speak from experience with three different hospitals and four German doctors. I am a registered nurse with 10 years of experience. A and l. Sch Rechenbach lbs cock. Germany a a a not irresponsible i wish to comment on your May 9 Story in which the staff judge advocate for v corps is called a a irresponsible by the civilian defense counsel for 1st it. Christopher Strain for bringing a premeditated murder charge against his client. As a military Law specialist with 28 years experience which includes defense of More than 80 premeditated murder cases 1 disagree with my fellow defense counsel colleague. There was circumstantial evidence available from which the jury could have concluded that Strain intentionally killed his wife pursuant to a premeditated design which the Laws says can be formed within seconds. That evidence included numerous fresh bruises on the victims body at the time of death and the fact that Strain admitted that he was holding the gun when it discharged. It was for the jury to accept or reject Strain s store. That the gun accidentally discharged to give the Issue to the jury to decide Vias not Quot irresponsible Quot a in my judgment. The military judge at the trial agreed with this View. The defense moved to dismiss the premeditated murder charge from the jury s consideration on the basis of no evidence the Tion. Because of the very Able efforts of military and civilian defense counsel Strain was vindicated. He was acquitted and Justice prevailed. A Edward j.

King verdict is in and once again we be seen which Side the press takes. The press has taken the attitude that the a not guilty verdict was grossly unjust in Clearing the four Whites of brutality in the police beating of King. The press has also glossed Over the looting Bunting and out and out murders As justified because of the beating of a Mack Motorist the press has played the rogue however in slandering the police who were merely doing their duty trying to keep our streets Safe. While decent americans support the efforts of our police it seems that the press cannot subvert police efforts fast enough. As for King he is not the Martyr that the Mack Community has made him out to be. Naturally the press has gone out of its Way to Koize Hun. Instead of blaming social ills on american indifference and Over emphasizing the physical subduing of one Black Man at the hands of four White police officers it would be More appropriate for the press to concentrate on the ruthless attack of about 40 americans at the hands of rioters and looters. A Fred Adolphus Kaiserslautern Germany a a a pkg called terrorists i read a a done to alienate kurd so april 14. The views of the army sergeant May mislead the readers on two Points. "u.s. Planes drop the food to pkg terrorists instead of refugee this was the headline of turkish newspapers at that time. The truth was that the . Air planes missed the target and dropped the food not to iraqi refugees but to the pkg. The turkish Fortes then opened fire on the pkg members try ing to recover the food. Also the writer did not mention More than 3,500 innocent women children and government officials who have been killed by pkg terrorists in Turkey in the last six years. Turkish Security forces As a policy never shoot turkish citizens unfortunately some citizens Are caught in the Cross fire a a Well Quot known terrorist tactic a causing casualties. It is a Complex Issue and blaming one group or favouring another will not solve the issues. Pkg is a terrorist organization created by the soviet Kab its goal is simply to cause terror. Unfortunately some people without understanding the full history and Story of the Region try to be a Savior to terrorist organizations 5,000 Miles away. A Dogma Tugal Windham . A a a problems with patients i just finished Reading another letter to the editor about the poor care a disgruntled patient received at a military medical facility in Germany. As a health care provider i can sympathize. 1 know there Are sometimes Long Waits for needed services. I also realize that its tiring and frustrating to continually attempt to get an appointment to be seen and either get Busy signals or finally get through Only to be told that there Are no appointments available. However i believe i have a solution that will eliminate a significant portion of the problems. Stop patient abuse of the system. I am not suggesting that everyone who seeks care is abusing the system. But i can to count the number of tunes i see whole families on my schedule for minor complaints because its easier to bring them All than to get a baby Sitter. Or patients who come to a clinic to be seen for minor problems that could easily be cared for at Home. We even provide handout medications to facilitate this. If everyone used the following criteria before seeking health care there would be adequate appointments for everyone who needs than. If you were losing part of your hourly wage to go to the doctor paying for an office Call diagnostic studies and medicines would you seek treatment for this problem if the answer is no then you probably make an appointment. I want everyone who needs care to be taken care of in a competent and expeditious manner. But everyone loses when your health care providers Are seeing 40, so and sometimes 60 patients a Day. �?2nd la Scott a. Stegall Giessen Germany a a a adjudication at its worst the acquittal of Rodney Kings attackers proves again that Justice in an inherently racist society is reserved Only for select individuals. The presiding judges decision to move the trial to Simi Valley a Community where More than 2,000 los Angeles police officers reside was intended to afford the defendants a a a fair trial. One requisite for a fair trial however is the participation of an impartial thinking jury that reaches its verdict altar deliberation. This was As one juror later noted not the Case for the majority of this group which had the reasoning faculty of an Australopithecus had decided the Fate of the defendants Long before deliberation. The jury a verdict is another example of american adjudication at its worst and was dearly arrived at Independent of real evidence. The last Legal Avenue with which to bring the officers to Justice is the pending probe by the department of Justice. Augsburg Germany
