.Dear Editor:
I am glad your magazine took the time and space to write about RTOs and medics.
They are all great guys and do more work than anybody else in the division.
You write about officers too much. But you didn't that time. Thank you.
Dear Editor:
Your use of Super Private with the MP story was outstanding. You should run
him in every issue. And why not run an Octofoil comic book full of all the
Super Private strips? It add a little humor to the military situation over
here. All my friends and I really enjoy it.
Dear Editor:
The art work by Schumacher to illustrate the medic story was the best I have
ever seen in a military publication. It really fit with the title of the
article—The Death cheaters. You could almost picture death. I hope you
continue to use such great art in all issues. It complements your fine
photographs and adds another medium of expression to a very versatile
publication.
Dear Editor:
Outstanding! That story in the last Octofoil about Combat Neurosis was great.
I've always wondered what effect the daily grind has on the average rifleman.
It only raised my admiration for them and what they have to go through. I
also enjoyed the rest of the magazine, but how about a story on the support
soldiers. They don't have it all that easy and I think they deserve a little
recognition.
Dear Editor:
As usual, the Octofoil was good and bad. I was happy to see the article on
the RTOs and Tiger Scouts, but did you have to drag

Editor
the chopper pilots into it again? You know there are some people in
the division who do something besides fly.
Dear Editor:
You play up the 3d Squadron, 5th Cavalry in all your publication. How about
doing something on 9th Aviation. We do as much, or more work, yet you never
mention us. If you truly are a division publication, you should try to be
more equal in your coverage. You haven't been.
Dear Editor:
After spending all summer fighting with the 1st Brigade while every other
division in Vietnam and the other brigades in this division cooled their
heels, I expected to see at least come mention of what we did in the Octofoil.
But not only didn't you say a word, but you ran an article on the Second
Brigade. In think we got the short end of the deal after spending those months
fighting while everyone else just relaxed and I'm a bit disgusted with
you.
Dear Editor:
As someone who has been personally saved by the alert eye of a Tiger Scout,
I thank you for the article about the scouts. They've kept more than one
man from stepping on a mine or tripping a booby trap.
Dear Editor:
I've finally got to write and say this. I really appreciate the fact that
you write for the average guy in the division. So much of what we get to
read that pertains to the Army is written for the officers and senior NCOs.
Or it is so bad it is a waste of time. The Octofoil is something I can not
only read, but I'll be proud to take home.
