Support for jet practice | Letter

Published 4:59 pm Wednesday, January 29, 2014

Contrary to more than one recent letter, I wholeheartedly support the need for Whidbey jets to practice.  That does not indicate I want war – it means I want to be defended if war comes to us.  That’s my security out there, keeping in shape with regular training.

I also feel strongly that this training has never been a secret. Did you not discover it before making the decision to come to Lopez Island? Did you decide that once you are here, everyone else’s agenda needs to change to fit yours? That’s so myopic and self-centered. You have the choice to move to where your own needs are met.  So you chose Lopez, and now want the world altered to fit your style. Sorry, it doesn’t always work that way.
