  1. Army is supposed to be subordinate to civil government and must behave as obedient servants. Alas, this is not the reality. We, the poor civilians, work very hard to pay for all the perks of top military brass and yet all we get in return is insubordination. We do everything to enable them defend our territorial sovereignty but they are only concerned with perpetuating their political domination.

  2. Yes he is right it sould be rule of law rather than rule of army law.
    Parliament should be the source of pweo rather than aabpara industry.
