Rewarding REBELS

March 11, 2006

Rewarding people is a great motivational tool. However, if you give the wrong signal, it might set a preceedent that will haunt you for the rest of your life.

This is the crack that opened pandoras box in the Philippine Armed Forces.

In the late 1980’s, the Philippines was known for bloody coup attempts aimed at unseating a President who took over a government left in disarray by an infamous dictator.

A few years later, an amnesty program was given to these rebels in order to promote reconciliation among the ranks that will cement the divide existent within the AFP.

Unfortunately, we forgave those mutineers and now we are once again haunted by their shady past.

What about those troops who lost their lives in defending the State against these domestic invaders? Has anyone thought of our dedicated comrades who stayed loyal to the constitution and rule of law?

Military men does not enjoy the same freedom we civilians have. They have to ask permission for them to speak freely. If they do not exercise this discipline, we will be living in a society of anarchy and chaos.

One thing is for certain, MUTINY is TREASON. It must be punished by death so as not to be followed.

This is a tradition that professional soldiery has. Unfortunately, this is the same tradition broken by our power hungry politicians.

I just hope now you learned your lesson.

REWARDING REBELS . . . Also means Punishing the STATE.
