Re in sitting on our hands How Long must we wait to intervene in i3osnia? is there a eur Niri percentage of people that must be killed is there a certain number of women that have to be raped is there a quota of people that have to be torture fifty years ago this same thing happened in the concentration Camps of Dachau Buchenwald and others. The allies knew it was happening but decided to do nothing about it. Must we wait until All the people have been cleansed before we intervene although the Nitro cities arc not vet As extreme As they were during world War ii arc we going to wait until 6 million people have been killed until we respond the reports that come out of the for Mer Yugoslavia every Day arc astonishing the documented accounts of the Tor Ture beating killings and rape. Why arc we sitting Here doing nothing. It is time for nato to get a Backbone and Force the . Security Council to take action. Not the joke of a no Fly zone but ground troops and air raids id Stop the tide of destruction. If the same thing were happening in a so called civilized part of the world we would act quickly what s wrong we arc All human beings. We All feel suffering the same Way. Think about it for a minute. What if it were your husband or son that was Bru tally murdered for no reason what if it were your wife or daughter being raped what would you do then i sometimes wonder. Staf sgt. Or Iris. Jacobson Vilsick Germany soldiers will suffer if . Deepens bosnian involvement in response to the letter ". Must end atrocities May 5i would like to comment that the writer is thinking with his heart and not his head. Emotions usually Cloud one s judgment and this Case is no exception. We must decide what is Best for All who Are involved. To think we could go to Bosnia and Herzegovina for a few months and everything will be of is Ludi Crous. Bosnia and Herzegovina is no desert. In some places it s worse than Vietnam. If we do get involved Many soldiers May be crippled for the rest of their lives or May even get killed. Before deciding that we should jump right into the War of bos Nia and Herzegovina i suggest you take a look around and decide if you think those soldiers arc ready to be lame or dead. . Ramirez Schweinfurt Germany Volunteer parking in unfair parking Perks May 10the writer questions the need for com Manders to Nave reserved parking spaces at the base Exchange and the commissary. Some bases do not have this but do have special parking spaces for the Volunteer of the year. How heart warming it must be to know that whenever you Volunteer to do something someone is keeping a record of your humanitarian actions so that you could be the celebrated Volunteer of the year and get your own parking gives new meaning to the word one wonders where these ideas come from. Annn in Cut Berlin compelled to respond i just had to respond to a dangerous combination May 11. The writer needs an in Check. The letter he complains about As being prejudiced and intolerant was clearly meant As satire. Get it satire. It was obviously meant to Point out rather pointedly i thought the ridiculousness of holding that any person is in capable bad for the morale of others or perverted simply because Thev Are differ ent from the majority of us read in the place of left handed people is others with Darker skins different religious or ethnic backgrounds or heaven forfend people who happen to be Gay obviously this gentleman s hand and a pen arc the dangerous combination Actu ally referred to in the j. Wales bad or Cugnach Germany punish disobedience i read that Keith Meinhold s com Mander revised the work schedule of some of Meinhold s fellow sailors be cause they refused to obey orders to work with him presumably because he is a homosexual. When i was in the army if i had re fused to obey an order they would have. Revised my work schedule for about 30days. They would also have revised my place of residence and my menu to consist of eight slices of bread and All the water i wanted twice a Day with a full meal Ever third Day. If i refused a second time i might have found myself standing outside the Gate with a piece of paper in my hand and remembering How Nice it had been when iwas inside the Gate. A Sailor who will not obey an order should be replaced by one who will and if Meinhold s commander can t enforce his own orders they should replace Hamas Well. Gene Phillips Frankfurt German Bush started draw Down in response to the letter Clinton the enemy May i remind the writer that it was George Bush who implemented the original draw Down and it was under or. Bush s administration that a number of bases were slated for closing. Or. Clinton has been in office just Over 100 Days. How does one explain every thing that has happened in our military prior to that time Lisaj.
