BUT REMEMBI STROKE OF M MWSCRP&I Leave M TO THE EDITOR: In response to the article in the Gamecock of Oct. 22 by the self-proclaimed fool Mr. Michael Gooding, I have little doubt in Mr. Gooding's judgment of his own views Foolish is a very appropriate discription. Initially, I woulc recommend that Mr Gooding leave military tactics to the tacticians, nol to the fools. If the Soviets were to invade Westerr Europe, they would strik< quickly, similar to tht German 'blitzkrieg' attack* oi woria war 11. to try t( roll tanks through the smal villages of Germany woult be very difficult and woul< waste time. In reality virtually all of the fighting that would result would b< confined to the countryside as Mr. Sadler stated. sffonm.v Mr C*nru\in. should note that stationinj Pershing II IRBM's has beei unanimously agreed upon b; all of the NATO countrie involved. Only the Warsav Pact governments hav< disagreed with the decision In addition, I would like t< point out, for the benefit o the non-mathematicalb minded fools, that 250,000 ii nui quue a majority 01 un German population of 6 million. If the Germai people are so adamantly opposed to the Pershing ai Mr. Gooding believes, then doubt Mr. Schmidt woul< of ill K/t *m oiiii IA; 111 miiLC.

ATIFIEP BY THE# m CLOTHES acticians ? I think it is quite obvious, after reading Mr. Gooding's past statements in the Gamecock, that he doesn't know what he's talking about. He ought to realize that the purpose of all the nuclear weapons in this country, or in Europe, is to deter aggression, not to ^ initiate it. But the only way for this to work is to continue to make the Soviets believe that we will use them, if provoked. JOHN W.
