p>Private Jeremiah Adler wrote home on his sixth day in Army boot
camp:
"’I am so fucked up right now... I feel that if I
stay here much longer I am not going to be the same person anymore.
I have to GO. Please help... Every minute you sit at home I am
stuck in a shithole, stripped of self-respect, pride, will, hope,
love, faith, worth, everything. Everything I have ever held dear
has been taken away. This fucks with your head... This makes you
believe you ARE worthless shit. Please help. By the time you get
this, things will be worse.’"
Shortly after writing this, his unit was scheduled to ship out,
and Jeremiah went AWOL (absent without leave).

Under the Freedom of

declassification of these documents from the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (OCC). But the OCC, which is implicated in the Pinochet
financial scandal for its failure to monitor his illicit transactions at
Riggs, has refused to release any of the documentation, even though the
Senate Subcommittee has already published hundreds of pages of banking
records related to Pinochet's accounts. |
