Venoma Heidelberg Germany Why the bumping because of the draw Down now in All ranks of service in be been noticing How Scricc members and dependents suffer. I understand that some posts facilities Are closed or due to be closed soon. What Are people supposed to do when recreation centers gyms and other facilities that provide entertainment for us Are gone is everybody supposed to just sit in rooms or housing Why do the staff members of facilities get Cut and look for another Job Only to be bumped by a German National in be seen where in order to save a Job for a National we fire others because we have to provide a Job for the nationals even if they re not qualified or cannot perform to standards. They say we can to fire them because of contract reasons. Well if someone else is qualified for the Job give it to him or her. Done to give it to somebody just taking up space because he or she May have been in a position for a Long time. A Chi. K. Shirt div Schweinfurt Gomany costs of Gay policy concerning the argument about homosexuals in the armed services its not that i disagree with their lifestyle. In a time of extreme military cutbacks i can to see How Congress the president and society will justify the expense required to allow homosexuals into the military services. When women came into the forces this is the Only comparison ill make Between women and homosexual changes had to be made to the dormitory living conditions. This is Only one of the areas where spending is concerned. My biggest concern is the added expense to ensure the health of heterosexuals and avoid the spread of aids. To what degree will the servicemen a group life insurance be held responsible by litigation to cover homosexuals a senior airman James of Schultz Raf Lakenheath England military has criteria in response to a a everybody a military Jan. 121 would like to remind the writer that when joining the military there Are certain criteria that one must meet. Not everyone is allowed into the military. There ate height and weight requirements. You can to be disabled and you must meet certain aptitude Levels. There Are jobs in the private sector that Are exactly the same As in the military. These positions Are filled by individuals who done to meet the military criteria. The military criteria say a no then so be it. A Joseph Bierkortte Raf upper Heyford England what a the big Deal what is All the controversy Over the front Page photo of awhile Marine kicking a Black youth the caption tells us that the youth had been throwing rocks at armed marines. A the kid should be Happy he Wasny to throwing Ricks at israeli soldiers and that he Only received a Boot to the backside. Why is it that people can never accept the whole truth that the kid got w hat he deserved the major problem today is not racism. It is irresponsible parents who no longer care to teach their children manners respect or the sense that they arc responsible for their own actions. A George w. Berkheimer bad sibling Germany defending kicker the picture of the Marine kicking the youth on the front Page of your Jan. 1/2 edition May not have been printed in Good taste but the youth probably deserved it after apparently throwing rocks at members of our armed forces. A Swift kick is probably less painful than being hit with a Rock or shot for that matter. These marines were sent there to help these people not to be targets for Rock throw ing somalian youths. I feel race color or Creed have nothing to do with this at All. It is just self defense. Don t read More into a picture than there really is a sgt. De Cohen Ansbach Germany. R wrong on Elvis finale columnist Tony Kornheiser like Many others has proved his disapproval of the new Elvis stamp. Great. So done to buy the stamp. 1 happen to be an Elvis fan who has worked at Graceland As a tour guide so of course an error in the caption beside the article stuck out like a sore thumb. The caption reads a a Elvis last concert in May �?T77 in Rhode this picture May very Well have been taken at Elvis final performance because he did Wear the Aztec Sun outfit As pictured. However Elvis last concert As any True Elvis fan can confirm was on june 26, 1977, at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. It is your right not to like Elvis but if you Are going to write about him at. Least get your facts straight. A spec. Paul Walker Baum older Germany taking out Christ one last word to set the record straight concerning the use of the word a a Christ in handels Messiah. The word a a Christ is the English form of the greek a Christos a which Means the word Quot Messiah is the English form of the aramaic a a Messiha a which Means anointed. Christ Means Messiah which Means anointed. If you removed Christ from Handel s Messiah i suggest you change the title also. With a Little creativity and some poetic License in a sure it could be modified and perhaps refitted frosty the snowman.
