Testimony to support of the resolution on Pohttkuloa TnII
iniug Area. ''yy''
Although my wife and I support the military action in Iraq, we a~so strong~y sup~o~ t~
e~bi4~ by Catltteiltnatl Jacobson to bare Mayor Kim ip(IQIHS unbiased civilians to
work with the Army to clean, and protect, the area knAwif A9 P I8hS1CUlOS Trailllllg Area.
Pohakuloa Training Area needs the Army's kokua, and yet sa~ly it is not ye~ recetvtt~~
Cl10UgIl Of it.
The Army has IlOt been hg1Si 3SrSR64ntable to `clean up' after themselves, per the laws .t
~ gFhpl~, Its secrecy has resulted in civilian deaths and destruction of the
itevuBttment under its direct Gomrol.
TIl` piit iS p;i~t, but if an~thin~7 the Army has a 50 year history of failure in its
responsibilities to the county of I-IawAi l and t0 the COUntle9 people. ThG t~rmy R~
coaxing which can ~?ther wme from the Cauaty, ar from a class action lawsuit.
Since the Army is developing t118re aed more lethal Weapons t0 protect OUr dtr~QGLiEGyt it
IlGGdS aIl Increiswg g,nQUnt of attention in petting it to `clean up its act'. Naw is tf8t the
time to let t>iem ~avrr a fr1~ ri>~F~
It would show a good kith effort by the county to boat support our troops, and by the
Army to demonstrate responsibility for its actions.
We ask you to suPfort the Jacobson resolution on PohakulBA Tf'atlflllg Area.
