Re: "Attack helicopters are only harming Americans" [Letter, Village News, 7/23/15]

So Mr. Campbell, are you surprised at the attack on you in response to your concern about the noise above?

It's happened before in this town; whenever citizens are fed up with the helicopter noise and express their views, they are attacked as unpatriotic, a disgrace, and told to move out of town or be run out on a rail.

Sadly, those who dismiss you have no idea whether or not you are a patriot of this country and they don't care. Shut up or move out is their demand. Its always the same: complain and accuse the writer, but offer no solutions

I have a solution, however, it is certainly not a new one and it would take cooperation from the Marine Corp to make it work. It's a matter of changing the flight patterns. For example, one week the pattern would be as it is now. Then, maybe the second week, fly further north and approach the base from Riverside County. Okay, on the third week approach from further south and west, again giving some residents in the north and east part of the area some relief. And on the fourth week, pound us again into the midnight hour as with the current curriculum.
