User or Patron simply censorship in a writing in response to the article oct is regarding the possible ban on the sales of sexually oriented Publica Lions it seems this ghastly beast of censorship has raised its head again denial of Access to these or any publication available to the . Public within the Legal Bounds of the Host country is nothing More than a simple form of censorship. The Case presented against the Sale of these publications in connection with sexual harassment concerns is superficial. This recent trend we be been experiencing in american society toward regulating morality is futile. You cannot change a persons insides by altering his or her environment or imposing standards of moral conduct by legislation. The problems we encounter with sexual harassment and gender Bias Are a fault of our social programming. I take offence and disagree with Many things i see and hear but if i deny the rights of others sooner or later they will be doing the same to me. Today we ban the Sale of Playboy or Penthouse tomorrow we ban the Sale of the Bible or the Koran. Deplete the demand destroy the Supply. A sgt Daniel r. Carroll Raf upper Heyford England a �?�6restrictions appalling the very idea that the selection of Reading material available to . Forces May be limited to what someone else deems appropriate or to his or her moral standards is appalling. The adult literature in our local stars and stripes Bookstore is above the reach of children and covered so that the very nature of the magazines does not offend anyone not wanting to Purchase them. I myself find Many of these types of magazines crude and repugnant. But its not my place or anyone else a to impose what we believe to be right on fellow americans a especially on men and women who have volunteered to serve in the military forces that Are supposed to defend these rights guaranteed in the Constitution i swore to defend against All enemies both foreign and Domestic. It seems that the enemy is within. A sgt 1st class Dennis e. Wuest bad Kreuz Nach Germany a 6 a no comparison to nazis does our Canadian Friend Quot shameful use of a bomb Quot oct. 12 really believe that american use of the atomic bomb in Japan is a 10 on the "sham1, scale. Right among the nazi death Camps Quot first there is nothing in history that can compare to the atrocities committed by the nazis the idea of genocide is More than just shame it s Plain evil. More than o million jews were killed in the death Camps and Many More died after liberation because of the treat ment they had received. Today As Germany struggles with right Wing violence we can never forget the holocaust or compare anything to it. T second it was not just american lives that would have been lost in an invasion of the japanese Mainland. Thousands of Allied forces a British australian and yes canadians a died fighting the japanese. The japanese were just As notorious As the nazis has anyone forgotten the Bataan death March. After years of War our country was tired of fighting and the japanese had no intention of stopping. They considered the emperor a goo and would have fought and died for him forever. Because of this it took an ungodly act to make them see How wrong they were. A harmless detonation Over mount Fuji  have done it. Canadians have historically been our friends. To compare us to nazis int something friends say to friends. A Victor j. Moss Blob org a Germany editor s note a letters from readers expressing their viewpoints Are published daily in this space.

The ethnic War in the country that used to be Yugoslavia is cruel. Its very sad to see the pain and misery of any War and the hunger and deprivation of any society while conflict rages. I was touched deeply to see an old woman trying to drink a cup of water. She was shaking while trying to replenish herself. The water was being received from a leaking pipe. It has gotten harder and harder for these people to survive. With the onslaught of Winter it will get worse. I just Hope and Pray the necessities get there before it is too late. A Robert j. Weed or. Frankfurt Germany 6 6 Kaufman defended As a Loyal subordinate and Friend to maj. Gen. Donald l. Kaufman i decided to respond to two letters titled Quot a slap on the wrist Quot and Quot Kaufman treated gently oct. 15 r i agree that the treatment Kaufman is getting is Quot bunk Quot but in a different sense. Kaufman a credibility and career should never have been ruined by people who Only assume and done to know the facts. As for Kaufman a Only getting Quot a slap on the wrist Quot a is having your name credibility and career ruined by months of misleading newspaper and television stories Quot a slap on the wrist not Only Kaufman but also the Kaufman family have been through pure hell the past six months. And yes if the general were an no he probably would get Quot booted Quot out of the air Force but he a not an no he a a senior officer who has served the country with Honor Pride and dignity for Over 30 years. He has risked his life in the name of Liberty Justice and Freedom for All. I done to think that Many cos can be compared to Kaufman in terms of integrity and military record also our Justice item cannot use the same punishment the same Way for All people because each Case and person Are different in Kaufman Scase our Justice system was wrongfully used. Also the idea that this is another Case of Quot big Brothers watching out for each other Quot is totally unfounded. If this were the Case Why did maj Gen. James a Chambers proceed with prosecution after the july 1 article 32 hearing when the officer in charge of the hearing recommended against a court martial i done to believe the True reason the air Force decided to drop the court martial was because of publicity and embarrassment but because Kaufman is an innocent Man. If there had been Embarrass ment it probably would not have been Kaufman a but the air forces and the writer of Quot a Furnan treated gently Quot was totally wrong when he said our Justice system reminds us that some men Are definitely More equal than others. Sometimes i think we forget each Case is different. In the Kaufman Case it appears the press presumed he was guilty a just the opposite of what our Constitution Calls for. Its now virtually impossible for Kaufman to regain the reputation he had formerly because the press has ruined it unfairly. Staff set Kirk n. Phillips Heidelberg Germany 6 6 6some duties take priority in a writing in reference to Quot no help from  the writer May not know All the facts Why the maps did not Stop to Render assistance. The military police May have been going to or from an incident and could not Stop to Render assistance. The maps have Many responsibilities one of which is assisting downed motorists. Yes the military police Are Here to help the Public. But there Are certain duties that Nave greater priority. This is not to say that a broken Down vehicle is not a great priority to the writer or the military police but at that moment the military police May have had another commitment. It very rare to see or hear anything in the paper on How the military police did a Good Job. People Are always Quick to judge the military police without knowing All the facts of the situation. A spec. Jeffery g. Green Hanau Germany 6 6 6most maps care a lot this is in response to Quot no help from maps Quot oct 20. My heart and understanding go out to this single mom. Those maps no passed her by were wrong to do so. However not All maps Are like them. I believe its not fair to judge All maps by the conduct of a few. There Are Many caring it and helpful professionals. As the wire of an my i experience firsthand the caring. Its not an easy Iob and one that often gets no thanks. When my husband responds to a Call we never know what danger he May be in. However its something he is willing to do to help and protect you and me. So i would like to thank All those maps who Are doing a great Job. To those who Arentt shape up and do your Job.

Let me give some examples poor programming Low mentality of commercials inadequate weather reports and Bland news reporting. I totally agree with the people who voiced their complaints on the above subjects. I too am very displeased with an.
