I am shocked -- shocked that a judge and a prosecutor would pay any attention at all to a wacky defense request to exclude LDS citizens from a capital crimes jury on the basis of a century-old doctrine, blood atonement, which would allegedly bias LDS jurors toward the death sentence (May 5). What would we say if Native Americans were excluded from property cases on the grounds of centuries-old beliefs that land cannot be owned? How about disqualifying Jehovah's Witnesses from serving on juries in cases of desertion from the military? Will heterosexuals now be disqualified from gay rights lawsuits?

Historically in the military, desertion has been seen as a crime punishable from as light a punishment as a discharge to as harsh a penalty as death. In Hassoun's case desertion applies to a military person "who quits his unit, organization or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service," according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Re "AWOL protester speaks out," July 10: I am more than slightly irritated with this article. The Dayton Daily News gave front- section exposure to a man who proclaims himself guilty of being absent without leave. Not only did the DDN give him exposure to voice his complaint for his cowardly act of desertion from his military obligation, but it was a slap in the face to every loyal American service member who has or is fulfilling his or her obligation.

A striking number of officers have chosen to leave the armed forces-by deciding not to re-enlist after completing their official military obligation, by turning to civilian lawyers when they are told to deploy to Iraq, and, increasingly, through desertion. In a February poll sponsored by Foreign Policy magazine and the Center for a New American security, a Washington, D.C.-based research organization, 42 percent of current and former military officers said that they believe "the war in Iraq has broken the U.S. military." Eaton graduated from West Point in 1972, and he wears a heavy, gold class ring with a chipped tiger eye (a casualty of a swiftly closing hatch on an armored fighting vehicle).
