Now They Know

After just about a week of having former President Marcos and his party as "guests," field-grade officers at Hickam Air Force Base were already grousing and bitching about the loss of such little freedoms as standing outside their houses, jogging their usual routes, or eating at the club (Special Edition, March 14 -20).

I hope these majors and colonels now appreciate far more deeply how we felt through 20 years of having Marcos as our ruler. I also hope they now understand more fully the depth of the anti-American feelings of those of us who believe that American support kept Mr. Marcos in power for so long.
