Nobby � of pm no of the sur acted accordingly t am writing to comment about the article Hanau cos wife says maps mis treated her during arrest nov. 17 first i would like to know what she was really doing out at 4 . Second Why did t she do what the military police told her to do when they stopped her it sounds like she gave them All the reason in the world to treat her in the manner she described. She refused to give up her purse keys and identity when asked. The maps were reacting to a suspected car theft that had been reported which is a felony. In my opinion the military police acted according to procedure when faced with that Type of situation and i applaud them for their actions. Lord know if the car had really been stolen and they did not catch her they would have been criticized for not doing their Job Sec. John r. Shepherd or Augsburg Germany drop the Crutch in response to the Hanau cos wife who claimed she was mistreated by the military police i believe that her action dictated the treatment that she received. The claim thai she was treated less thana human being sounds less than truthful to me. The military police were acting Ona stolen car report. Why would mrs. Eubanks refuse to identify herself when stopped on a Mili tary installation she should have know that it is illegal to keep any handgun in a vehicle registered or not. How about elbowing and kicking at police officers did she just assume that these action were Okay her total disregard for authority is my mind her biggest injustice was done when she claimed that the incident was racially motivated. How about her being responsible for her actions and quit trying to blame others for her mistakes she can Start by obeying the Laws letdown for All americans drop the Crutch and Stop making . Daniel w. Harris Fulda Germany budget your Money in response to child care too costly nov. 14the writer reminds me of some of the people who used to come and seems with their finance problems when i was a personnel and administrative Cen Ter clerk in the army. Some feel the government should reimburse them for anything and everything. Basic pay is to defray costs that entitle ments such As Basic allowance for quarters Basic allowance for subsistence overseas housing allowance and clothing allowance Don t cover. I m not taking the military i overpaid or Well paid but if you Don t like it find something better if you what if the income of those living in government housing is calculated As i they receive bad they re receiving free housing along with utilities at no suggestion to the writer and others is to budget your Money and do it care fully. When i was in the army i did t budget my Money Well. Now i make much less so i have to. Now i wonder where some of my pay went in the past.

We May have some sow s ear posts but some pigs Are , As Well As Wurzburg and Bamburg Are Theu Sarteur nominees this year. Quite pos Sibly you May be witnessing the Start of a sow s ear turning into a silk Joseph , Germany informing first i in response to the letter stories to graphic nov. 10the author explains Jer dissatisfaction with the graphic re porting methods utilized by the stars and stripes. In argument i have to say that the particular ways instituted in re porting the events described by the author were excellent examples of pure raw events Are written to present the Reader with As much factual and yes graphic material deemed necessary to enlighten those of us who Are interested unknowing what is happening in the real not always pretty world we would be very disappointed Reading about an event if the re postings were vague and or lifeless. I feel that other readers would agree that we read what captures our attention and continue to read what can maintain , she was captured by the horrifying events. They moved her an enhanced her emotion of outrage. I sup pose her feelings were More directed atthe actual events she read about rather than the ways they were answer to the author s question at the end of her letter who Are you try ing to impress Well clearly the stars and stripes did not set out to impress be fore they set out to inform but it appears As though they made quite an impression on the author. . Starles Dhahran saudi Arabia Friendly service survives How about a positive comment about Afes and medical and dental service even though we Are currently stationed at a draw pwn unit we Are receiving Friendly people who Are working at our dispensary dental clinics Here in Fulda Ger Many Are always Friendly and helpful getting same Day appointments with certain doctor no problem at our dispensary. Never have i heard a harsh re Mark about bringing my kids to one of my appointments. The staffs at our commissary and Post Exchange Are always helpful too. A lot of customers forget that a Little Courtesy on their part would help. I see a Tot of Cus Lomer act As if they own the place and then wonder Why they get it Friendly treatment than the person next to them. Sunday. November 28, i want to take this Chance and say thank you to All the people working for cafes and at the medical dental clinician Fulda. Keep up your Friendly service. D. Crofton Lac Germany up with statistics it s really a sad Day for our country when a highly visible Public official like Gen. Carl e. Mundy has nothing Betterto do than provide fodder for the can Nons of the hate mongers.1 fail to see the significance of these stupid comparisons Between the might White race and various minorities we Are supposedly All god s children and Cre ated equal. So what if one person can swim better than another so what if one person can shoot straighter than another i m quite sur that not every White officer in the Survey outdid every Black officer on an individual basis. Even if it were important How can a fair comparison be attained when you use 1,000 of one group and Only 85 of another even if it was sampling Why did t they make a comparison Between the White officers with Londhair versus the ones with Brown hair Why Stop there they could make one by Eye color Short versus tall Etc. No these would t be for one have had it up to Here with All these stupid statistics comparing one race with another. Does anyone really care Gen. Mundy has become quite a celeb Rity these past months shooting off his Mouth on controversial subjects that indy opinion have Adverse affects on the morale of not Only the Marine corps Butalla service members. Although this trash was on the wire and classified As news i think the stars and stripes was wrong to give any head line coverage. There s a Well known say ing that goes together we stand divided we fall All americans need to remember that because our society is being pulled apart further and further bit by bit by these never ending stupid racial comparisons. Bob Crocket Wiesbaden Germany rap reflects life regarding rap message needed nov. 15lately All i be read about is How bad rap music is i listen to All types of music and rap is not worse than some other music. I appreciate rap because i does not try to sugarcoat reality. Before i joined the military i gave my self a project. I lived in the inner City. One night i sat outside my door an wrote Down everything that happen in a two hour period. I wrote it in a i read it Over later it surprised me How much of what i wrote was the Sames most rap groups. They Only wite and sing about what happens in the inner City. Most of the time the inner City in t a Nice place to Point i m trying to get across is you should not put something Down without experiencing where it s coming from. Take the time and visit one of the projects that rappers Are talking about.
