Anthrax: Parents Become Activists
|
Ed.: One of the many letters I received from parents who can no longer stand
at the sidelines of the Anthrax policy folly. Here is a letter to the
SecDef, triggered by the recent courts martial of Dr. Buck.
**********************************************************
By a Concerned Parent
Dear Mr. Secretary:
As you read the following message, pertaining to a subject I am sure is dear
to your heart, I want you to ponder one question: "How can there be justice
when the military refuses to hear all the evidence?"
The phrase "kangaroo court" comes to mind.
I am concerned because my son is participating in ROTC and has his heart set
on being an SF officer. I used to support the Department of Defense because
I believed that the interests of the nation (and its soldiers) were foremost
on its mind. Thank you, for proving otherwise.
I raised my son to be independent and to make his own choices. I may yet
suffer from my success. I will, of course, be actively dissuading my son
from joining up. I will also be spreading the word far and wide that serving
your country is not the same as being forced to participate in a covert,
unlawful, medical experiment.
The Anthrax program is just that, and it's ineffective, except for the
largess passed on to BioPort and others.
You're an intelligent person. Need I say more ?
Sincerely,
William C. S.
