pageant Playboy not the same regarding the March 28 letter pageant Playboy same i do not be Lieve that coverage or not of 2nd la Kelly Georges Competition is a double Standard compared to staff sol Michelle Man harms posing in Playboy Magazine George is not getting naked and expos ing her body to the Public Shes also As far As i know not prancing around half Clad in her service dress or sending out pictures of herself in uniform while the photos with the trainees were obviously staged Manhart appeared in Playboy in full military training instructor uniform and also wore parts of the Battle dress uniform in some of her partially clothed shots taking revealing photos in a Mili tary uniform brings discredit upon the Mil itary and bringing discredit to the service the uniform is against the uniform code of military Justice if an airman desires to do anything like the above he is required to get approval from his commander Man harms Chain of command Only became aware of the photo shoot after she bragged to her supervisor about Man harms biggest fault was that she claimed not to know any of this As she was an met i find this extremely hard to believe i have heard the excuses that she was Active guard and probably did not know she was performing duties As an Mai first and Foremost Metis Are held to a higher Standard than most meanwhile George followed the proper procedures thus the reason Why she is continuing to appear in the air forces Media limelight i do not feel shamed by Manhart for doing what she did and i dont think she did a disservice to other women in uni form i just believe she went about fulfilling her dream in the wrong Way staff sgt Audra r Lanier Hick Amair Force base Hawaii dont let Coulte haters decide id like to respond to wont sit Down for standup letter March the writers key Point was dont run any More of Ann Coulters columns to counter Arian nah Uffington since she is a comedian who  be taken seriously besides it bothers me that i have to fatten her pay Check by buying a newspaper that runs her column it Doest seem to be enough that proud liberals dont simply flip past columns they dont want to read they dont want the rest of us to read them either this is nothing less than censorship whatever happened to the principle so Many service members have died for i May not agree with what you say but 111 defend to the death your right to say if there is a simple solution to the writers distaste for Coulters columns dont read them there Are several sections of the sunday edition i never read including the sports and comics but id never propose Tell us what you think stars and stripes welcomes your comments on editorials and columns that Are published in the newspaper and values letters on topics of importance in the lives of our readers ail letters must be signed and must include the writers address or base and Telephone number please limit All letters to 300 words we Reserve the right to edit letters for length taste and clarity Send your letters to us mail stars and stripes unit 29480 Apo a 09211 International mail stars and stripes Postrach 1330 64345 Griesheim via fax country code 0 Dan 3498395 email you Stop running them the writer said More reputable conservative columnists should balance out Huffington columns which implies that Huffington is a serious journalist nothing could be further from the truth i remember Well How she did a 180degree Over night flip from being a staunch conserva Tive to becoming an Ultra Liberal when she thought that it was politically advantageous for her and i still cant get the image of her being in bed with Al Franken on Public to out of my mind and we Are supposed to take Huffington seriously in sure the Day will come when you no longer run Coulters columns and i have no problem with that however you May lose Many Loyal readers if they suspect you Are dropping her due to pressure from the left Morris Poston Yokosuka Japan repenting makes a difference in response to hypocritical logic on Gays getter March Gen Peter paces logic is not hypocritical instead the letter writers logic is faulty perhaps before Labelling Pace or any Christian a hypocrite he should understand what christians believe christians do not follow Leviticus they follow Jesus Christ Ergo the term Chris Tian Leviticus lived under the old Law in the old testament Christ represents the new Law found in the new Testa ment furthermore while Pace did indicate that it is his personal belief that homosexuality is wrong i do not recall him Ever advocating the murder of homosexuals As the letter writer Bottom line it is hypocritical to claim to be both Christian and homosexual however no Christian is perfect All have sinned be it homosexual conduct cheat ing lusting stealing the list goes All of us Christian and non Christian could be labelled hypocrites however the differ ence is that True christians repent their sins this Means they sincerely regret doonesbury their sinful behaviour and make efforts to turn away from that sin and change their behaviour leaders Arent paid to keep their views to themselves they Are charged to place priority on the greater Good of the greater number i find it ironic How homosexuals think dont ask dont Tell infringes on their rights to serve it does not it pre vents them from telling others they Are homosexual funny How my right As a Mem Ber of the heterosexual majority to not serve alongside a minority homosexual is not protected but the liberals dont care about that thank you Gen Pace for having the moral courage to stand up for what you and the majority think is right capt Bryan d Lake Balad Iraq seeing truth in creationism i was an evolutionist before i became a creationist i read creationist material planning to use it to refute creationism religious mantra annoyed me but i saw truth i could not objectively deny evolutionists would refute creationism with Nam calling insist evolutionary theory had so much evidence that it is accepted As True and insist that we  study biological science without evolutionary theory creationist half truths letter March 11 gave a True definition of the scientific process evolution and the big bang do not meet scientific criteria it is not observed or testable evolution is not Rele vant to observed biology until the data Are arranged to fit the ancestral tree inter species adaptation is presented As extra species evolution in Progress All Fos Sil evidence must be interpreted to fit a preconceived Model those using the Evo Lution Model must ignore or convolute much of the evidence to make it fit irreducible complexity is the argument that a Given biological system can Only operate As a Complete unit loss of any one Compo nent would Render it useless this makes gradual development impossible is it any wonder that this logical argument would be rejected by peer review of evolutionists evolutionists fight daily to keep their Dis agreements from the Public to keep the less educated Strong in the Faith some scientists invent facts to support their beliefs scientist Ernst Haeckel famous fraudulent drawings supporting common ancestry and recapitulation the belief that developing human embryos repeat evolutionary history first a fish then a Rabbit Etc still Grace some school biology texts today recapitulation has been Dis proven by observed science the observable evidence better supports the creation Model the creation Model answers questions the evolutionists dismiss As attempts to de Lude the Public perhaps the evolutionary adherents should Stop
