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. Cast your vote.
