LETTERS: PRESIDENT'S ACTIONS SNUB VETERANS

To the editor:

To the person who has been in Speak Out for some time wanting an apology for referring to Clinton as a pervert: I don't know what better definition you could give the skunk. I wonder if the caller knows what Nov. 11 is. If he does, he owes a whole bunch of apologies to a vast number of men and women who have served their country that he might have freedom and justice. And the pervert who happens to be commander-in-chief of our United States gets the same justices as an ordinary citizen would get for perjury.

I am one of the lucky ones. I am a 100 percent-disabled veteran, but there are a large number of men and women who gave their lives. And there are a huge number who are in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives -- all for this pervert to enjoy the freedom he does today.

Impeach him and throw him out of office, and I'll go step by step with him.

I respect the office of the president so much I would give anything to see Clinton out of there tomorrow. No one will ever disgrace our country or the office of the president so much as Bill Clinton has.

You hear some say, Don't impeach. I want them to explain that to me. Three weeks ago on the front page of the Missourian was a story about a woman charged with perjury, convicted and sentenced to jail. Are we to turn her loose? And any time someone gets caught and says he doesn't believe he has anything wrong, are we to let him go?

If anyone is against impeachment, he doesn't believe in equal justice for everyone. Let me say this with all the kindness I can. If you were caught lying under oath, I will guarantee you wouldn't be turned loose. That would corrupt our whole rule of law.

Get rid of Clinton as soon as you can. I am ashamed to say I am an American with him at the helm. My family has 44 years of military service defending this country, and it is not to be scoffed at.

He bombed Iraq to divert attention away from he impeachment hearing.
