A close aide of Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Monday that suspended army general Robero Vannucci, now a League candidate in next month's European elections, had damaged the army's image and reputation with his bestselling book The World Back To Front slamming gays, Blacks, feminists, Jews and other minorities.
Lieutenant-Colonel Gianfranco Paglia, a Crosetto advisor, said on TV show Zona Bianca, on Rete4, that the former paratroop commander's book"has tarnished the uniform, and we military cannot afford it. "My duty,' Paglia added,"is to explain to the whole of Italy that Vannacci's thinking is not the thinking of the Defence establishment." Paglia's comments prompted Vannacci to say he did not care about such criticism.
"I haven't seen the TV but I ask myself a question," Vannacci replied on Facebook,"speaking in Uniform was he expressing his personal opinion or that of the Institution to which he belongs? "Because I, for having written a book in a personal capacity in my spare time, have been accused and suspended also for having suggested a link between the author and the ideas expressed by him to the Institution to which he belongs! "But I don't care!".
