As one of the so called Quot nazi Type guards who work at the Mannheim elementary school As a lunchroom Monitor i strongly resent the reference to hitlers followers. Most of us have children who attended the school before and after the quiet lunch policy was implemented. Do you Call throwing food at each other screaming and Yelling to someone two tables away taking someone else a food without asking getting up from the table and running around the proper Way to socialize at the table does your family behave this Way at mealtime. We do not use degrading treatment on the children to get them to pfc absolutely silent. Its impossible for children to remain silent so some socializing does occur in quiet voices. Much less food is being thrown away because children Are not preoccupied. And the children Are not continuously going to the nurse right after lunch with indigestion caused by stress from the lunchroom chaos. The children Are not watched Over by a Bunch of prison guards. We Are women with hearts who care very much for the welfare of these children. We Are just try ing to help instill some manners and allow the majority of the children a Chance to cat a Well balanced meal in peace not chaos a Patricia a Eyanson Mannheim Germany sexual harassment tales enough is enough. In be heard too Many news stories about women being sexually harassed. Is this the fad thing to do if it happens report it immediately. If you choose not to report it then drop the subject forever. Do not wait 10 years then decide you were harassed. Also to the one court clerk who claimed that chancery court judge David Lanier fondled her for 30 minutes Why the Heck did you let him this particular Man May be guilty of some of the charges against him but to sit there for 30 minutes while this was going on is  real girl. Pc. Barnett _ Bremerhaven Germany Quot a e. A Gas chamber error Given the hysteria and Allied propaganda immediately after world War ii one can easily understand How Many still believe that Gas Chambers existed at concentration Camps in Germany however i refer the bigoted writer Quot reason for concern a dec. 3 who stereotypes germans and supposedly saw a the bloodstained Fingernail claw Marks on the Walls of the Gas Chambers at Dachau to the following statements Quot there were no extermination Camps on German soil a Simon Wiesenthal Quot there were no Gas Chambers at  a rabbi Marvin Hier Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for holocaust studies and a there were no gassings at  a Martin Broszat director of the Liberal Institute for contemporary history in Munich Germany if these statements from the so called experts do riot convince the writer i suggest he again visit Dachau and question the staff about the existence of Gas Chari bars at the Camp. There he will also find that no such claims Are made.

In november 1991, i was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis scleroderma rare severe and sometimes fatal disease of the skin and internal organs for which there is no cure. My disease has progressed rapidly requiring constant doctor visits and two Hospital stays. Needless to say i have used All my leave. It recently i got my leave and earnings. Statement in the mail. It showed Over 200 hours of available leave which had been donated to me to help me through my current Hospital Stejr and recuperation period i done to know exactly who donated what but i know much if not All came from the big hearted people at the Frankfurt co and Mainz Kastel service Center. Quot thank you does not seem adequate. The stress this disease has had on me and my family has been almost unbearable at times but this tremendous show of unselfish support has relieved some of that stress and made us realize that we Are not in this Battle alone 1 Hope some Day there is a cure for systemic sclerosis so 1 May have the Opportunity to give of myself the Way you folks have Given. A Julia Boavy Mainz . Subversion feared it s time for americans to Wake up and smell the Coffee. On the news and in the papers across our Republic we see the . Propaganda machine spewing Forth its file lies., the United nations is attempting to subvert our National sovereignty into a one world government with the help and consent of officials in our own government As stated in state department publication 7277, Freedom from  directed policy of our state department is a three stage utopian attempt to disarm the entire Globe culminating in stage three where Quot no state would have the military Power to Challenge the progressively strengthened . Peace  any organization that would have the Power to enforce world peace would also be powerful enough to enforce world tyranny. Unfit enough americans say Quot get us out of the United nation and get the United nations out of the United states a our precious freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of rights will be in perilous danger of Complete subversion. A Michael b. Simpkins. Augsburg Germany eee. Respect saudi rules in a writing this letter in reference to Quot obey . Laws dec. 20the writer said she is confused and disappointed about Banning servicewomen from driving in Public in saudi Arabia. Was appalled and displeased at the writers phrase which i quote Quot As . Citizens we arc not part of the islamic society nor Are we bound by their  unfortunately some of the americans have the tendency to be arrogant absurd and self entered toward other countries culture traditions and customs. Saudi Arabia is the Birthplace of the Prophet Mohammed and religion of islam. Its incumbent upon us to respect and abide by their rules and regulations. Despite All the restrictions imposed on them women Are very Happy and have no fear of being mugged raped or bothered while they Are in the Street. There Are thousands of military personnel officers and enlisted alike dreaming about the Day they Are assigned to this blessed country of islam. Finally we  forget we Are representing our great nation and we  fail. To respect the rules and regulations of our Host country whether it is in the Middle East or Europe. A staff sgt. Ahmed a else Why Heidelberg Germany a letters from a chickens id like to express my feelings on homosexuals in the armed forces. But first i want to say How furious i am at All the negative letters dec. 4 from our homophobic military. The few letters written by those who feel the military should admit All who qualify were written by chickens. While their replies supported other Peoples rights they made sure to include that they weren to homosexuals a for example Quot in a not a Gay rights activists and Quot in a married with  did these people feel they would be invest gated if they did no to include these statements the rest of the letters were Good for cleaning up after the Rabid animals that live around our dormitories. Everyone in the military needs to read . Military history again particularly president Truman a 1948 executive order that abolished segregation in the armed forces. The same negative replies from racists and bigots were heard All Over the world. They Felt that african americans and women would disrupt the military environment mixing the races and the sexes would cause massive chaos and just Plain  work. Well those people were wrong and now our military has a diverse Quality of both and other minorities. Those who Felt this order went against their moral fiber got out. And those who fee the same now goodbye and Good riddance. The military is better off without them. Id like to end this letter by saying that in a nether homosexual or homophobic but i am an african american woman and in a not so insecure in my sexuality that id Ever Tell others How to live their lives just because they make me nervous.
