I appreciate your publishing my letter to the Forum on Aug. 17 and recognize your right to condense, correct, etc.

But you absolutely hashed the gist of my comment in the second-to-the-last paragraph when you said, "I feel the death of 16 officers. . . ."I didn't say 16 officers died; 16 officers didn't die. I said something to the effect that the careers of 16 officers were slaughtered for the expediency of politics.

I write you again so that knowledgeable readers won't belabor you with the misbegotten idea that I am a fool who doesn't read your paper.

Hang in there folks, you came close.
