BENSON CARTOON WAS TASTELESS, INSULTING

THE EDITORIAL cartoon by Benson on Feb. 2 [depicting an American flag with death crosses instead of stars] is tasteless, insulting and unpatriotic! In a free democracy, once the decision is made, it is our duty to fully support the government and the people who are about to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Benson also "missed" any "Star of David" symbols, of which there are many at Arlington. PHILIP SIEGRIST JR. ROANOKE
