It All smacks strikingly of the vast cynical efforts that have been under Way during these Post world War ii years to dilute and yes even deny what the was fun is was and what its members were engaged in during world War ii. Franz Gai Dosche a Fortune to become an a american bartender Only two weeks after a this precise arrival at Camp King a july 21,1946, at 5 . A nowhere includes an indication of How he became a member of the Waffen is was he drafted the readers of your generally excellent journal were entitled to see a reminder that the official text of the Nairn Borg trials states that a die Schutz staffely Der a  Deutschen Arbeiter Partei commonly known As the is and its affiliates Quot should be declared criminal that the is s Todtenkopf a Crande deaths head units were special troops employed to guard concentration Camps and that the is  was organized As an armed unit to be employed with the army. In the summer of 1939, the  was equipped As a motorized division to form the nucleus of forces that came to be known in 1940 As the Waffen is. At the end of the War the Waffen is was estimated to be composed of about 580,000 men and 40 divisions. There was evidence that the shooting of unarmed prisoners of War was the general practice in some Waffen is divisions units of the Waffen is were used in carrying out schemes for the a Germani nation a of occupied territories according to the racial principles of the nazi party and were involved in the deportation of jews and other minorities. Waffen is divisions were responsible for Many massacres and atrocities in occupied territories such As the massacres at Bradour sur Glanc France and Lidice Czechoslovakia. Even More daunting is the publication of photographs showing How the Swastika a a survives in the old officers club at Camp King. Clearly your reporter like Many other former and current Quot imbibed so of rationalized history needs to have some Wool removed from his eyes and word processor. A .b.c.dov. Brussels Belgium a r a exchanges open to All my How times change. More and More people write to complain about French military personnel shopping in our exchanges. Even in letters that should have nothing to do with shopping privileges a a what sofa changes Quot Jan. 20 a people make ignorant comments. The status of forces agreement Al tows Allied forces to use each others exchanges. Changes to the sofa wont allow a More French personnel. In our exchanges buying everything in  it will either maintain the status quo or eliminate this Benefit for everyone. This so called problem As others see it is More apparent Here at Pitburg a because of the Many French personnel stationed at Trier and Wittlich. But just As they use our exchanges we have the right to use theirs. While stationed at Span Dahlem a in 1985, when the Dollar was Worth 3.45 Marks and 11.50 French francs we flocked to the French caverns in Trier to buy French Champagne Crystal and everything else in sight. While we threw Money around As though we were independently wealthy we were Busy supporting the French Economy. Now that the Dollar is weak we should thank the French for spending their hard earned francs at an american store a As the saying goes a what. Comes around goes  a tech. Sgt. Victor j. Moss Pitburg a German the editor a squaring away pay in reply to a a pay delay in May Jan. 20the writer should take a copy of his promotion orders to his servicing personnel actions Center and they will take it to finance where it will get squared away.

Johnnie Traughber Jan 15this letter will probably rekindle the recent arguments about the Confederate Flag. But i Wasny to the person who chose to print a photograph of two of our troops in Somalia sporting a Confederate Flag in the cab of their truck. _ in this Era of social unrest and racial tension that photograph to my eyes is very offensive. Its very unsettling to think that anyone in the service of our country would display that Symbol White working of a Mission of peace. It sends a contradictory message. Supporters of the Confederate Flag would argue its meaning As not being racially hateful but i Don t agree. Maybe some people done to see it that Way but there Are a lot of people out there who do hold that viewpoint. For that reason a bit More discretion should be used when displaying a Symbol such As the Confederate Flag. A airman 1st class Kevin m. Dahl Span Dahlem a Germany rocks Are dangerous of All personnel in the military marines Are the most disciplined. We have proven this time and time again. The marines Are in Somalia to protect the innocent and to provide safety to the Relief efforts. Rocks Are very hard and can cause major injuries. If the marines do nothing to deter Rock throwers someone May be seriously Hurt. If they Are not stopped the next thing thrown May be a grenade. Done to condemn something until you Are put in that situation. A sgt. Dennis Webb Cairo Egypt a a a a a menial step backs in reference to your front Page photo on Jan. 1/2, As a Black woman with children i would Tike to express my sympathy for the Marine who must think that his kicking a child whether Black or White makes him a Man. The photo took a lot away from the moral conduct Standard of a military person. It most definitely projects a mental step Back to Black people. A precious Jenkins Wil Flecken Germany travesty of a Messiah i thought i had heard and seen it All but 1 have to admit that the removal of the word a a Christ from the Messiah tops it. This musical masterpiece was created for and to the glory of the lord Jesus Christ shame on the director for the Outra sunday january 31, 19 Genus insult delivered to the Christian Community by altering this great work of Art for misguided reasons. And shame on any Christian in the choir who would agree to perform this insult. If a jew had arrived at the interfaith service wearing a Yar Milke would he have been asked to remove it so As not to offend other religious groups. Of course not and rightfully so. An interfaith service is to celebrate and respect the religious beliefs of All people. Its not a time nor a place to slap the Christian Community in the face. It Lanzafami Stuttgart Germany a. A a at a complaints disruptive Equality by definition Means that everyone in a society is Given the same opportunities to achieve whatever they want in life. In a perfect society everyone must work together to achieve an equal status what disrupts this Unity is All the complaints from various minority groups. Most every time there is a problem in our life today where a minority is involved the word racism is bound to come up. In order for our country to regain its status in the world Community it is essential for this a safety net to be put away and Stop the self separation from the rest of society. It is Only causing More harm to the already deeply rooted hatred Between groups of different races. Like the Little boy who cried Wolf one too Many times the More someone cries racism the less people will want to listen to the crying and soon Nifone will care. A spec.

Yet with the stroke of a pen president Linton now allows researchers to use aborted fetuses for medical research. These activists said a a rat is a cat is a pig is a  what Are these animal rights activists doing to Stop this inhumane treatment Given to unwanted human babies who Are slaughtered through abortion by the millions every year and you know what these unborn children Arentt anaesthetized.

A a get a a fresh Start in response to the letter a pay for nicotine patches Jan. 18i would like to share the following the military Community is simply finally accepting responsibility for a habit it encouraged and taught Many military members to participate in and the same goes for alcohol. I doubt very much that people Are using the a a Patch to hold them Over from Check to paycheck really Don t think the author of the letter has a clue As to How the a fresh Start program works.
