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*

should note that stationinj

all of the NATO countrie
involved. Only the Warsav

In addition, I would like t<
point out, for the benefit o
the non-mathematicalb
minded fools, that 250,000 ii

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.
