Croatia, Kurdistan need military aid

February 10, 2015 11:00 pm • Last Updated: February 10, 2015 6:09 pm

By Lawrence Crowley Oldsmar, Fla. Editor's Note: Mr. Crowley was born and raised in New London and lived here until he was in his 80s.

I am a 94-year-old World War II veteran. What has happened to my America? Croatia is being savagely attacked, and they called to us that they need munitions. The independent Muslim nation of Kurdistan is being attacked by ISIS and has called to America for more munitions.

Our response should be immediate and overpowering, whether it is against Russian thugs in Croatia or the Mafia-like thugs attacking the Kurds.

Our 41st President, George H. W. Bush, and his chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell, showed us the way when they responded to a call from Kuwait.
