H o be missed unfortunately i will soon be leaving the european theater. I will certainly miss the letters to the editor Page in the stars and stripes. No other humor oriented feature in your newspaper even comes close not Dave Barry not even cavi n & my Day is going bad at least i know i will have the sheer comedy of inc correspondence printed in the stars and stripes to look Forward to take for example aids As a plague from god satanic Demon worshippers running amok in our base recreation centers sex crazed homosexuals terrorizing the Shower Tak ing populace Gestapo is que lunchroom monitors consumer goods starved French and British personnel pillaging the exchanges. Don t let me forget the poor people who got shafted by the system As in Steffi Graf got an f-16 ride and 1 did to people on temporary duty at provide Comfort get per diem and i Don to the stars and stripes is the journalistic Lackey of the secret Liberal conspiracy to dominate the Syndicate columnist it is also highly amusing that so Many of the letter writers have the answer s to the world s problems and that they arc willing to share them with lowly me. For just 35 cents i can get some really great How i should live my life and what morals i should uphold. Most of this Type of theology is of the Christian variety from the same Guys who brought us the crusades the inquisition the 700 club and the Jim and Tammy show. So naturally i hang onto every word. Last week a Friend tried to Tell me the letters Page was not an exercise in satire. I did t fall for it although it did make me think if these people Are serious that s not very funny not funny at All. in Ciurlik Turkey tired of hearing about it in november a new government was elected because people wanted change. I Hope All of those who voted for political viability arc satisfied. I m already tired of hearing about $10,000 a year tuition hiring illegal aliens As maids not paying taxes etc., All from people ardently claiming to be like us. Having served our country for the Best years of my life i Don t need some Yuppie clean jeans pontificating to me about Sac what bothers me is How we com Plain yet Lack the will and courage to forcefully Tell All of our elected official what we think of their actions and votes. Mark k. Germany fires set in housing area i can t take it anymore. I just read the articles about thefts in the . Govern ment housing areas and about the victims fearful of their safety. One anti theft tip Given was to lock the building Entrance door. 1 sure wish i could do just that. The . Government housing area in which i live has had fires set in the base ment storage rooms fires set in the Recy cling trash dumpster areas and last but not least possibly someone stealing mail from our Post boxes located just inside the building entrances. I along with other building residents have not received our German phone Bills yet. I called the phone company and discovered our Bills were sent out on feb. 2 and it s now past feb. 15.1 do not wish to pay a late fee or have my phone Dis connected. Of course there is no proof our phone Bills were stolen and it could possibly be a mistake on the postal service s part but the fires set in our basements and dump Ster areas were t you think it s time the . Government does something about this be fore a major catastrophe happens by the. Way the housing area that does not have locks on the Entrance doors is to go Lech housing in . Silvia Germany gangsters and murderers a right i can t stand it anymore. For months i be been hearing and Reading about the warlords and clan generals fighting in Somalia. The Media should Call these Guys exactly what they arc gangsters and murderers. Why try to legitimize them a Capone and bugs Siegel have gotten a bum rap by being called gangsters instead of warlords or generals f think their rela Tives should sue for defamation of Char it our government is negotiating with murderous thugs because there is no. Legitimate government and then Sug a coating the process by calling them warlords and generals to make it sound honorable while Young service members Are being murdered. Once our troops leave i fear our Only legacy to the people of Somalia will be fatter healthier gangsters and murderers who will certainly steal everything Stock piled from famine Relief. Neighbouring african nations must step in and establish a legitimate government in Somalia for their own Security and the Well being of All somalis. Until that is. Done no lasting improvement will be realized. George Sciss Wiir Burg Germany. Funny headlines needed loved your headline on Friday feb. 12. It s interesting that democrats have to be tipped to accept top government positions. Or in t it monetary tipping maybe they need to be tipped from a ver tical position to see if they re awake. Keep up the humorous headlines. Wended them. William Sucke Frankfurt Germany � slain Soldier is missed i am assigned to the l-504th Parachute inf regt on rotation with the multinational Force in Sinai Egypt. Since i arrived Here about two weeks ago 1 have been following the pfc. Erica d. Holder Mur Der Case with both interest and great sad Ness. The loss of a Soldier especially one so Young is a loss of one to Many i myself am Only 22 years old i Hope they catch the murderer and that person is made to realize that he or she not Only took the life of someone so Young who still had a whole lifetime ahead of her but More important some one very special a fellow Soldier. She will be sadly missed by All including those who like myself have never met her but who All claim the proud title of Soldier . Army. Take care Erica you la be missed. Sgt. Arthur j. Gordon Sinai Egypt Why a difference in fares i recently telephoned the scheduled airlines travel offices overseas Sato office to make reservations for our trip to Seattle in april. I was informed that the round trip Frankfurt to Seattle ticket would be $1,105 per person. Sato also informed me that this Price was the same for most american Flag carriers. A German Friend who will be travel ing around the same time informed me that his round trip tickets Cost 1,275 Marks per person. This included All air port fees. The difference in Price is almost $400 per ticket. What is Sato doing to for americans stationed in Germany could Sato be Selling us the German ticket charging excessive prices and pocketing super profits Sato explained to me that German travel agencies sell Gray for a $400 savings on a round trip i Don t care what color the ticket happens to be. Timothy Drummond Pirt Nasons Germany help our own people i was shocked at what i heard on the news last night. That our president wants to let cays into the armed services is Al ready bad enough it s going to create i hear we Are considering allow ing foreigners with the aids causing virus to enter our country. Do we have to take other countries problems too we heed to concentrate on our own people we have so Many who Are jobless and Liv ing out on the streets have no roof Over their head and All we can think about is letting people in that have the aids virus we have enough of those our selves. Who is supposed to pay for their medi Cal Bills of course the taxpayer. And it hurts the Little Guy who is trying to make ends meet.
