Moronic rituals the . Army has a plethora of unique traditions. Many Are grounded in solid values such As respect Courtesy arid Honor. Equally plentiful Are moronic Ritu als which were never sensible. Their continuation is a cancerous sore on the face of the army. We be spent incalculable time and resources attempting to teach our Young soldiers to be smart financially and to conduct themselves As responsible adults but our messages Are clearly mixed.-. ". V All Over the army we still order our soldiers to forget the above messages and act like fools. Allow me to give a couple examples. We conduct mandatory traditional functions at which they watch senior leadership engage in acts of total Absurdity i.e., mixing insane amounts and varieties of alcoholic beverages adding dirt Wool socks spit Etc. After which someone honorable and traditionally drinks the swill from a oot. ,. Then there s the Ever popular fund raisers at which soldiers Are encouraged quite vigorously to blow Large amounts of their hard earned Cash bidding to throw a fake pie in the face of an equally unique individual who allows this preposterous display of lunacy. Someone leading the event preps the mindless masses by talking trash about the next victim in order to encourage even More Money from the troops. Come on people. Let s inhale deeply the is sense of the life giving colombian bean and find an intelligent Way to raise Money. / Jbv Iausly your recent front Page Arti Cle about the incident in kit Zegen did nothing to make the army appear to be composed of intelligent responsible adults. I was t there to see what transpired so i would t presume to make judgments about the actions of the accused however i m certain that he was encouraged by nearly All present to do the major in any Case the ridiculous incident would t have graced the frontage of the stars and stripes nor would a Good noncommissioned officer his command sergeant major s words be fac disciplinary action if the unit had not collectively engaged in stupidity. Sgt. Joseph w. Phillips Heidelberg Germany disturbing revelation it has just come to my attention that the German firm age was undeniably and directly involved Iri the construction of the nazi death Camp at Auschwitz. A recent american forces network telecast Nova aug. 20 telling the Story of the construction of Auschwitz quoted a letter sent by age to the Camp commandant that now we have provided you sufficient electrical Power for the operation of your crematorium and Gas. it is astounding to me that firms such As age and there Are others such As . Farben and Krup industries Are still allowed to operate in this Day and age after being directly involved in the Mur Der of Over 1 million innocent people be tween 1939 and 1945.1, for one will boy Cott each and every that age produces. / it would be very enlightening to the Public if you would publish the names of other firms involved with production of materials and provisions of services for the nazi death Camps. Sidney Regen lands Uhi Germany Given to the right of the 1,400 other Ca dets to participate in an All male program if they choose. Allowing Faulkner her right by Neces sity denies the male cadets theirs. Show a picture of cadets celebrating Faulkner s withdrawal is in no Way discriminatory. Their feeling toward her decision is understandable and their right to express these opinions exists the notion that these individuals face disciplinary actions for expressing their satisfaction with Faulkner s decision i absurd. Unfortunately it is a typical response by the political correctness Crow to demand punishment of those merely expressing opinions other than their own. Military programs similar to that atthe Citadel already exist at universities such As Texas am and Norwich and if Faulkner was truly interested in receiving a military education she could have easily applied to one of these institutes. What i suspect seemingly confirmed by her rapid withdrawal is that Faulkner was More concerned with the notoriety she would receive rather than the education she would gain. .

Commentary Don i relax Gir Pori inspections to much by the los Angeles times under a proposed Federal plan trav Elers entering the United states through Miami International Airport could soon encounter relaxed customs and immigration inspections. They would not be required to reveal where they intended to stay in the states and they would not have to fill out the forms on which travel ers declare what they Are bringing into the country. The changes Are part of a Pilot Gram to test a Radical Federal proposal that could eventually result in no inspections at . Airports and an open Border Between the United states and Canada. The details of the plan raise the worrisome question of whether safety and Security will be compromised in order to facilitate Airport operations. Boon to airlines yes time con suming inspections tax the patience and nerves of inspectors travellers and air lines alike but the newly disclosed recommendations appear driven too much by corporate economics airlines com Plain of their costs when passengers Are delayed. The proposal critics charge ignores costs that could result from in creases in disease pests and terrorists and other criminals slipping into the United states. While officials maintain that the proposal is not designed to decrease enforcement it is hardly reassuring that the officials who conceived it cannot describe the benefits of doing away with the requirement for foreign visitors to give their . Address. V some of the proposals such As divert arriving passengers on International flights Bromlow risk countries to Domestic Gates where passengers and bag Gage would not be inspected could pre vent . Authorities from knowing who entered the United states and in what status. Huge checklist what s More the customs service s own statistics showed that of the 57 million foreign Visi tors who arrived at . Airports last year the names of fewer than half of them could be checked against the Agency s computerized list of known or suspected terrorists drug dealers and other undesirables. V this is hardly comforting and emphasizes the question of Why the Mecom emendations do not focus on How to main Tain inspections but make them More efficient less time consuming and Friend her to travellers rather than attempting such substantial change. To simply eliminate inspections does not result in a bet Ter system. It could create new problems or open new loopholes that could result in a major expansion of illegal immigration via airports. _ the draft plan raises Many issues that should have been considered before the Pilot program was set. Federal officials should make Good on their Promise to drop any parts of the plan that hinder enforcement of immigration drug and Cus Toms Laws. boop5l�., to explain.
