Rude last Hurrah How dare anyone serving As a Public trustee in Federal service hand out bonuses As a last Hurrah of an outgoing administration these people were serving the same Federal government that is dismissing family wage eamers in droves. To gratuitously Dole out such lavish amounts is perverse. Hundreds of thousands of . Servicemen women serving around the Globe around the clock at sea in the air and in hot Sun baked Fields for far less Finan Cial benefits and in far less comfortable working environments take no Solace in such thoughtless tripe. Most of us Are just trying to survive current economic conditions.

Then consider bonuses for them and their shipmates too. A Ron Leonard Kiel Germany. M a w. A telling Bible verse until Reading All the letters from people who Are opposed to homosexuals based on biblical grounds 1 had no  members of the overseas Community were so righteous. 1 suppose i was influenced by the number of people who seem unaware of the ten commandments from the old testament or Christ a two commandments from the new testament. However since these very conscientious people Are so anxious to follow the Bible i am sure they will want to begin enforcement of one More prohibition. In six different places the Bible Speaks out. Against a hideous practice suggesting that those who engage in it should be executed. It is a disgusting practice that should make All people shudder with revulsion. Clearly people caught in this abomination should be kept out of the army and they should at All costs be kept out of Jhc department of defense dependents schools system. What is this heinous crime i can Only suggest you read it for yourself in i Kings 16 11. A Kenneth k. Shepard it truth Germany a a israelis brutal record in response to the letter Quot the real atrocity Quot feb 12the author Calls the atrocities committed by the israeli jews against palestinians a  White i personally would not compare the israeli atrocities to the nazis the comparison is not All that far off the Mark Ana certainly not a joke. 1 mean what would you Call rape mass murder torture mutilation and terrorism among Many other crimes All of which Are Well documented in archives throughout the world the 1948 War was an atrocity for the 750,000 innocent palestinians who were forcibly expelled from their Homes and country. Without the mass expulsions and illegally gained territory it is seriously doubtful that Israel would have survived for very Long. Certainly it would not be As stable or powerful As it is today. Saying the arabs started the War out of anti semitism is false. They were trying to tight a horrible wrong the creation of a european state in an Arab world. Besides How can a semitic people be anti semitic r israeli policy is much like apartheid. Israelis and arabs to to separate schools live in separate villages they re not allowed to serve in the military along with a myriad of other discriminating policies. The palestinians who live in Gaza and the Quot West Bank experience worse human rights violations than their counterparts in Israel. A the author asks a How Many times have palestinians killed jews for no other reason than their race a i ask him How Many times have israeli jews killed palestinians for no other reason than their race it really does no to matter because murder is murder and its deplorable. Palestinians do not have a monopoly on terrorism. Modern israelis May not commit International terrorism but they do commit terrorist acts in the West Bank. Of course the press does no to Call israelis who practice terrorism Quot terrorists they prefer the term Quot radicals. Menachem begin and Yitzhak Shamir were members of the terrorist organizations Airgun and the Stern gang respectively. How Many innocent palestinians did they murder yet they both became prime ministers of Israel. The author says the Quot occupied territories Are jewish lands by right. What right the palestinians have been living in Palestine for centuries. Just because european jews take the land away from the palestinians does not make it Quot jewish by rights and historically the jews Are not the first to have inhabited Palestine. A spec. Donald m. Parks Heidelberg  for trip yourselves in response to Quot deserving a free Holiday feb. 16give me a break. The writers husband is an e-7 and she also works. Why done to they just pay for the trip themselves How Many or those people that did get a free trip were in the Junior ranks i.e., Al to e-4 ? the fact that those free trips were set up should be satisfying enough. Everyone in the military is a Volunteer. 1 have yet to Sec any reference in any voluntary military contract to a free trip to  or anywhere else. Thousands of people including me spent time in the persian Gulf. Why Don t we All just sit Back and be Happy that there Are people out there trying to do things for us and Stop complaining a staff sgt. Kevin Phillips Pitburg a Germany one Clinton is enough there must have been a problem with my presidential ballot for the election last november key ballot said Clinton Gore not Clinton Clinton. What a going off up on the Hill he needs to either appoint her to an office or ask her to stay out of his cabinets affairs. A. Vogel Span Dahlem a Germany Clinton killing children one of the promises that president Linton pm 1 i a improve somehow ironic that it is this part of our society that he is allowing to be killed by thousands daily. Not Only is he Content with that he then says that they Are to be used As Guinea pigs so we can do research on them. Jeffrey Dahmer said at the time of Bis arrest that he was doing research to find the Quot perfect homosexual Lover. Are we no better than Jeffrey Dahmer a senior airman Douglas l. Thompson ram Stcin a Germany. A a a no facts in statements in the commentary Quot Gay Issue is harmful feb. 12the writer attempts to state what he believes is fact. He take it upon himself to say that the vast majority of Senrick members dislike the  of homosexuals in the military. He goes on to state that the preponderance Tamer Ica does not concur with the proposal. These May be his own opinions but i see no facts involved in these statements. . Danner Wiesbaden Germany Quot g study needed on Gays i realize that Gay people have a right to serve in the military but the fact is that the military is not a Job you work your eight hours and go Home. Gays have served productively in the military but one must realize that their sexual preference has been kept secret due to fear of being discharged. This is the reason Why homosexuals Haven to had any problems in the military. Making such a decision to allow Gays in the military without doing enough research to see what the Long term effect would be is absolutely ludicrous. This goes to show How special interest groups and political action committees Are in total control of our government and will dictate their demands to the military without any research and feedback from people that work in the military every Day.
