| Author offers to cancel speech in wake of boycott |
| 2004-09-26 |
| A controversial author invited to speak at the Army's annual professional development symposium in Europe next week has offered to cancel his appearance in the wake of a German boycott of the event. Ralph Peters, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, a writer and frequent lecturer on military affairs, is slated to speak at U.S. Army Europe's three-day Land Combat Expo on the future of warfare. "I have made an offer to withdraw, if that's what USAREUR thinks is best. And there will be no hard feelings against USAREUR on my part," Peters told Stars and Stripes on Thursday. "The important thing is the expo," he added. "It's not me, it's not the German tanks. It's the troops." |
