As for avoiding the draft one of the titles a president carries is commander in chief of the armed forces. What kind of commander is a candidate going to make when he did everything in his Power not to defend democracy. Smoked marijuana right. Let s have a president who experiments with illegal drugs. Visiting Moscow in 1969? let me get this straight. We have a candidate who has no sense of family values something our country is desperately lacking. A draft dodging commander who experiments with illegal drugs while organizing protests against his country in a foreign land and we have someone who does no to consider this Worth talking about. You might As Well vote with your eyes and ears closed. To understand someone and what he stands for you have to understand who he was and what he stood for. Only that Way will you learn what he might do in the future. A Dan Dudley Bremerhaven German enjoy Europe living in Germany All i hear is a Europe sure the weather Isnit so Good but one can learn to live with it. Europe has a lot of special qualities. The history of Europe is remarkable. One can go fight with the romans in Rome or feel Royal in London. There is plenty to learn in Europe. People living Here have an advantage the countries Are so close together that anyone can go travelling sightseeing or learn How to ski a my favorite. For instance Germany loves its wine fests Beer probes and Chris Kindl markets. There Are enough collectors items for everyone from miniatures to dolls from every country. One of the Best things about living in Europe is All the different foreign languages one could learn and practice. Another plus is saying you have lived overseas when Many of your relatives and friends Haven to. A Dawn Gleichsner Wurzburg is Germany a 6 a flabby dependents there a Little question americans have become a Couch potatoes a and Are physically unfit. If this Isnit bad enough Many Are just Plain fat. Although Many of them excuse their condition for a variety of reasons the main reason is what i Call a hand to Mouth the military tries to control its members weight in a variety of ways but when it comes to dependents its Only self respect personal regard and willpower that regulate their intake and activity. Unfortunately from what i can see Many have Little interest in really dealing with their problems. Rather they can be seen Swilling Down food and drink at the local eateries with Complete disregard for their bodies appearance and health. One can stroll the Halls of the local Hospital or clinic and see waiting rooms filled with fat dependents lined up for All types of medical care. While anyone can become ill and require care what these fat folks done to seem to consider is what dietary indiscretions do to them and the Burden their fat places not Only on them but on the medical system. Fat folks Are subject to diabetes High blood pressure and heart kidney and a vast array of other circulatory problems. If they need surgery they be Comra Nightmare for surgeons and Anaesthesiologist a. If they Are hospitalized bedside care by the nursing staff can be nearly impossible when lifting and moving these patients. Then there Are the other problems of poor self image anxiety and depression. The answer to their problem is at the end of their Arm and they need to take responsibility for their own health and physical condition. Too often they go to the health care professionals expecting a a a magic cure or Pill to fix the problem Luiere Isnit one. However i suspect they will find helpful advice. I was a fat teen Ager who lost it. In a not on a Soapbox but i am concerned for those fat folks who visit illness on themselves and the medical system that has to support those unwilling to help themselves. _ a Bud Rogers Frankfurt Germany editor s note a letters from readers expressing their viewpoints or opinions Are published daily in this space.

At first i Felt that if a woman could do exactly what is expected of a Man considering weight height then More Power to her a As Long As when in combat she could save my husband or others just As they would save her. But then i read an article by army sgt. Maj. Richard a. Kidd in family voice Magazine. He posed this question to 200 servicewomen. If they had an option would they choose a combat arms Raili tary specially Only three of the 200 raised their hands in other words Only a Small minority of women want to be in combat units so the feminists Are blowing this Issue Way out of proportion the same goes with War or peacetime deployments. I done to know of any families who want to be separated As much As the military separates us but this is the career the service member and the spouse chose. A Mary to Clapham Baum older Germany steamed Over article id like to congratulate stars and stripes on another Fine article a desert storm had a steamy for myself i have nothing to defend myself about. I do know of people Over there who were having sex. I also know of a lot More Over there who were not and it was not because the Opportunity did not present itself. Your figures and the Way the article was written almost sounds As if we were doing nothing but having sex. I was in a signal unit fort Bragg . That was coed and we were some of the first personnel deployed to desert storm. We were also among the first deployed along tagline Road and we had Many instances in which people had to perform in the most professional manner possible. Then you publish an article that takes away from a Tough Job that was done in a very outstanding manner. All the articles that were written while we were there made it sound As if we were doing a great Job. Now a year and a half later As if you have nothing better to print you allow such articles As this. As Many before have fought All of these wars to allow you the Freedom of the press 1 would still go wherever my leaders Tell me to go to do the same Job. Maybe next time you print an article like this think about All the things you could print about All the outstanding jobs that were done by Many Fine people Many of whom gave their lives. A sgt 1st class Randall e. Owens Karlsruhe Germany a a a can to beat space a last summer i took leave to the states and travelled space available from Rhein main a Germany. I boarded a c-5 destined for azores Portugal. Not Only was the flight comfortable and the meal above satisfactory the Crew was professional courteous and caring. I done to remember their names but they know who they Are. Within two hours after Landing in the azores i was on a civilian flight to Philadelphia for a Mere $10. In be heard a lot of negative comments about flying space a. For a $10 processing fee and a $2.40 charge for a meal one must have to compliment the system instead of degrading it. Face it you can to beat it. A staff sgt. Kevin m. Sylvester Heidelberg Germany a a a racist stars and bars i feel compelled to respond to the writer who stated that the a civil War Wasny to Over slavery. The confederacy fought for one reason secession from the of puh lease who was your history teacher Jefferson Davis Why did the South secede from the Union in the first place because of the election of Abraham Lincoln a Republican and the fear that with him in office slavery was doomed. Of course their fears were Well founded. Lincoln had stated earlier in his famous a House divided Quot address that the Republican party had the intention to place slavery a where the Public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate so rather than try to keep their a Peculiar institutions of slavery intact by lawful Means the South up and split. Therefore slavery was indeed the reason for the civil War and the stars and bars Flag represents a fraudulent country that subjected an entire race to vicious cruelty and degradation. To the writer research the facts before you defend a Flag that clearly does represent racism. A Lori Giersdorf Darmstadt Germany
