Army implications re Stryker opposition
Daniel Ziegler writes a
letter
in the
Star-Bulletin
taking issue with the Army spokesperson's implication that opposing the Stryker
force in Hawaii is tantamount to putting American troops at greater risk. He
says the Army's "thinly veiled accusation that citizen groups who question any
government action in the name of 'war on terrorism' are somehow not patriotic is
unfair at best, and may infringe on the litigants' right to voice their
legitimate concerns with Army policy. May I suggest that 'the best solution for
our soldiers,' [...] would be keep them out of unnecessary wars in the first
place."UPDATE: The
Hawaii
Tribune-Herald (a weekly newspaper on the Big
Island) is conducting a poll on the Stryker. Currently it is 58-42 against
allowing the Stryker brigades to come to the Big Island, with 612 votes.
