*By Wannie Owens, Jr.*

I would like to comment on Steve Breen’s column “Criticism over military service rings hollow,” (page 5, May 28). I don’t know why he would mention senator Obama’s name so many times and why he would have to mention the word black. I believe that no decent human being should ever boast about taking the lives of fellow human beings. It is this type of mentality that has gotten this country on the brink of destruction. And if it lives on Mr. Breen, his children and possibly grandchildren will have the chance to be proud, patriotic insurgents. God rules this earth.
