War against insurgency without the political class - Vanguard News

BEFORE Barack Obama was sworn in for the first term in office and during the presidential debate with the late Senator John McCain, he was asked by the moderator what his plans were regarding Osama bin Laden. Obama stated categorically that he would kill Osama bin Laden.

If Richard Nixon hadn’t ended the draft, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George Bush and Donald Trump might not have become presidents of the United States. Even though they did not have military experience, they were aided by the military to succeed in office; they knew what they sought to achieve with their presidency. They learnt on the job and inspired the fighting troops.

The disgusting killings reported in the North every day, including ritual murders in the South, do not appear to stir the conscience of the political class and they are busy with the 774 public works programme. If the environment is not socially stable, would a public works programme or any other investments of public interests for that matter make any sense to Nigerians?

See how politicians in the North-East have destroyed their part of our country and have taken cover in Abuja. The hordes of young men that they armed from the beginning to deal with political enemies have all become knights of the road, and they ask the military to tame them. Soldiers do what is right when politicians are loyal, respect the military, venture into politics for selfless service and complete their tours-of-duty with dignity and integrity. The meddlesomeness of the political class in military affairs is responsible for the lack of discipline in the military. Soldiers are trained to lead, they believe in the mission of every project; but the political class provides tame leadership, their stewardship is base.
