Todd Yates actually went out to get sandwiches in Haiti ducking around a the orders by the High command by putting on civilian clothes to go into town. In a sure her superiors would no to have found anything wrong with Quimbly carrying her military Issue 9 my in her makeup bag either. Obviously they knew that what they were doing was wrong or they  have left the terminal wearing combat dress to cover their civilian clothes. The article also states that Quimbly and Yates had to a Rush past soldiers peering Over sandbags and an m60 machine  those soldiers probably wont get to go out for sandwiches  be too Busy doing their Job. Quimbly says a i wanted to be with people who care about each other. Not just to uie for god and country but to die for other marines  / Well actions speak louder than words. While Yates and Quimbly were abusing their positions and taking advantage of the situation it was the soldiers outside risking their lives. If seems to me that the Only marines Quimbly and Yates were interested in caring for were each other. Arc we really supposed to feel sorry for these two officers because they had to cat res meals ready to eat for two weeks the other soldiers in Haiti probably have larger worries Shari something As trivia As a real  this article is a very sad example of unprofessional ism by two Marine officers and three army noncommissioned officers. I Hope that in the future the stars and stripes is More selective of the articles they run. I find it hard to believe that a Sandwich run by two Marine officers was the most in a portent news to come out of Haiti. Spec. Richard d.

Mark Bell Kitzing Gen Germany implying that current affirmative action procedures Are promoting individuals based solely on race gender and ethnic category not performance Clear promotion selection guidelines would have established his father As the Best qualified and therefore promoted Over the lesser qualified. Then this would not be an Issue of discrimination. If what he says is True there is a great injustice happening to the Equality of our forces. Ail people deserve a fair Opportunity to Advance and Excel. It when will this vicious Circle of discrimination end Only when promotions arc based solely on performance can we be sure that the Best qualified Are prompted. This is pure equal Opportunity.
