Priorities wrong our streets Are riddled with crime drugs infest our schools homeless people arc in abundance and the National deficit has enough zeros to encircle the Globe. And yet the Manhattan District attorney has nothing better to do with our tax Dol Lars not to mention tying up the court system than to bring charges against Boxer Ray Mercer. Mercer is facing up to seven years in prison because he allegedly offered Jesse Ferguson $100,000 to go Down in their fight. The lawmakers of our great country wrote hundreds of thousands of dollars in bad checks and not one of them stood trial. Is it not time we stand up and say enough is enough my heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones to murder drug Sand other forms of corruption. Their cases will never be heard because our $100,000 to drop this stupidity and bring the real criminals to trial. Sgt. Russ Pitner Frankfurt Germany Gay Issue botched How far is this Witch Hunt for homosexuals going to go whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty if Only two individuals think someone i3 homosexual that person s commander can launch an investigation at which time he or she must prove that person is not not just throw them in the River and it they drown they Are straight if not Well they must be new plan from the White House fails miserably at even being president Clinton claims that his new policy is a sensible balance and an honorable Why can t the policy makers or Bur country just accept the fact that homosexuals have been in the military for As Long As we have had a military and they always will be i shudder to imagine the time and tax payer dollars spent on such a bottomless it. Even if Congress is successful in pass ing a Law prohibiting homosexuals from serving in the american military it will not Stop. There will never be an answer on which everyone can agree but there will always be homosexuals in the Mili airman Daron l. Pratt Ramstein a Germany ,. Don t Rush to Rush i read with much interest and some trepidation your article about the grow ing number of Rush Limbaugh fans who Are trying to have his show put on either an radio television or both. I think it is time to offer a differing opinion to this Small but vocal group who insist on bring ing this Man s entertainment to the an stationed in fort Leonard Wood mo., i was exposed daily to or. Limbaugh s show through a co worker who insisted on turning up the volume so everyone could hear his while not particularly receptive to Limbaugh s ideas on numerous occasions i listened with an open mind to see what All the hype was about. 1 think i found out. Rush Limbaugh has a conservative solution to every complicated problem that arises in the United states As Well As the world. I honestly got the impression that if everyone in the world was White the wife stayed at Home and took care of their 2.3 children they worshipped at the local fundamentalist Baptist Church and eschewed All those so called Amurri Cavan values he so vocally expounds upon the world would be a perfect place for Rush Limbaugh maybe. When i arrived Here in Germany last year for my second tour my first thought upon Reading the stars and stripes Tor the first time in More than five years was that your editorial Page and Overall Edito Ria policy had gotten rather conservative. Under the military command climate this was somewhat expected. The military has never been a hotbed of Liberal social causes. What most truly conservative people in the military do not realize is that the . Military is a leading proponent of social change Able to accomplish racial and sexual Equality much quicker and with less resistance. Sometimes there is some thing to be said for the authoritarian atmosphere you will interact appropriately with females or Blacks and if you Don t like it see the try this in the civilian sector especially in a Small business. This is exactly what the Limbaugh crowd needs to understand. Limbaugh does not represent the majority opinion of either the country or the military. What he does represent in a loud obnoxious Way is his personal opinion. Leave or. Limbaugh to his Cheeseburg ers and opinions leave him off an. Staff sgt. Joseph l. Mccrayer Langen Germany.

Commentary the stalemate in Korea gets no respect bythe Lippman the 40th anniversary of so Day came and went last week neglected As usual despite what president Clinton said. So Day the initials stand for stale mate in Korea is i la admit not As big a Deal As be Day and Vij Day but it and the War it ended deserve some respect. That War gets none. It s the Rodney Dangerfield of wars. It was not even called a War while it was being fought. Today 40 years after its armistice there is still no korean War memorial in the nation s capital. That finally is going to change. A korean War memorial design was approved last month and is scheduled to be built on the mall by 1995. What Clinton said in a statement read for not by him to 500 korean War vet Erans at a ceremony at Arlington nation Al cemetery to Mark the 40th anniversary of the armistice was this your attendance Here confirms that the korean War is not the forgotten. but it is so forgotten that Only one of five daily newspapers that i read thought the anniversary Worth reporting. Probably the Only people who re member the War Are its veterans. Even some of them find it hard to remember. Joe Goulden ends his history Korea the untold Story of the Var with an anecdote about an sex Soldier he inter viewed about the War at a veterans administration Hospital in 1979. The Man told him korean War Jesus you know. I served there for eight months almost nine and i have to think awhile to even let you know what outfit i was i met a Veteran once who said he could t even remember which service he was in in Korea. He May have been put Ting me on. But he May not have who do remember or have Stu died the korean War know one thing it was about As destructive a War As has Ever been fought. Almost As Many americans were killed in three years there As in nine and a half years in Vietnam. The koreans North and South suffered extraordinary casualties. Jon Halliday and Bruce Cumings in their Book Korea the unknown War estimate 3 million civilian Battle deaths about 10 percent of the total population of the two Korea. In addition North Korea and its chinese ally lost at least 1.5 Mil lion soldiers c the Baltimore Sun pr30abiy crops Are going to 85 a total
