He admits he finally put himself into the draft for political considerations but by then his number was so High he had less of a Chance than Dan Quayle of being called up. Speaking of vice president Quayle at least he served eight years in the Indiana National guard. Bill Clinton did not even serve one Day for his country.

King trial live on television. I also taped it when 1 was working. Although in a new to Europe in be spent the majority of my career in the Pacific and i have a hard time believing that arts televised the entire trial. The majority overseas saw Small segments of a  week trial. Or read a newspaper article now and then. Although i missed some of the closing arguments i saw enough evidence to make me believe that or. King was a threat to the officers involved As Well As the general Public. The majority of Kings dangerous and violent actions occurred before George Holliday got his video camera running. Did Holliday Ever testify about what he saw before looking through his viewfinder no. Maybe my View and the jurors would be been different if or. King had testified. He was in the wrong from the beginning of the Pursuit to the end of the incident. He and his lawyers knew this so he never took the stand. A Charles a. Braun Edwards fab Calif. Scotti was t listening i was shocked to read maj. Gen. Michael j. Scotti  impression of the medical draw Down and the Community response. I was a member of the so called a protest group at the Garmisch medical conference. Seven women three toddlers and some homemade signs. Some protest. My son age 2, sat on scotties shoes while we asked him questions. Scotti seemed sensitive to our concerns. We went to the conference because we were not getting answers not just answers we did no to like. The Garmisch clinics were closing in less than two months and there was no plan in place. We wanted to know How 7th medical come planned to satisfy our health needs because the local Krank Enhaus German Hospital docs not want or letters to the editor need our business. We asked about the Neucom demonstration plan and if we would have to pay substantial costs under champs civilian health and medical program of the uniformed services. We questioned if the several units in Garmisch could Cost share or space share a medical team. Could volunteers augment a Skeleton staff Scotti admitted he could not answer All of our questions. And for the record we did not complain about smelly unshaven German doctors. All Scotti remembers was that we did no to understand the political and economic conditions of the draw Down after our Impromptu meeting we heard nothing but negative feedback. Somebody better quiet Down those wives now we feel Scotti was being condescending instead of understanding. We Are being a forgotten in the  perhaps maj. Gen. Scotti needs to hear More from the a Little  he seems to be the one who does no to understand a Debbie Mcgrath Garmisch Germany of asthma and idiocy Short of writing to my congressman i feel this is my last outlet to express my outrage with the stupidity of some air Force policies and the people who make them. Upon arrival in Germany in late september 1990, my songs asthma got worse. It went from mild to severe and in the coming months it became dangerously life threatening. By August �?T91, his attacks had gone from a couple a week to three to five a Day. By this time we had run the entire Gamut of asthma medications a 15 total a and a $200 breathing machine. After 11 months three hospitals and numerous doctors telling us there is nothing More they could do his paediatrician suggested applying for an Emp exceptional family member program reassignment. We gathered statements from Bauchot Der a Hospital and Ramstein a clinic and professional opinions from the 97th general Hospital at Frankfurt. All letters said my son was unbeatable in Germany. We applied for the Emp reassignment thinking All was in the bag. Our documentation was Complete and thorough. The Safe surgeon general promptly denied my request. It said treatment was available Tettat we understood but that was not our Contention. Our Contention and the doctors was my son was untreatable in Germany. The surgeon general a office said no application concerning asthma Ever gets approved. It disapproved the application with a total disregard for the doctors opinions and my songs health. In Short it does no to care about people and it does no to want to be bothered. After other attempts to get this situation resolved i subsequently applied for an Early return of dependents. My son is doing very Well in his new location. He is using Only two medications and his asthma is under control. He also got the operation he needed. I have to remain in Germany without my family for two years. It has created Many hardships for which there is no logical reason. Its not because of Mission Manning or air Force need. In fact my unit was behind my reassignment 100 percent. The reason my family is enduring these hardships is simple the Safe surgeon general a office does no to care about people. A tech. Sgt.
