MILITARY INTERVENTION

The supposed plan of GMA to perpetuate herself in power via OPLAN: Blue Moon reveals that for a particular political bloc to take-over the reigns of government, it would need the support of the military.

I hope those people who want GMA out, but 'without' military involvement, realize the naivete of their stand. Either we "get" their support, or she does. As it is, she seems to have the edge.

This is not to say, that people's fear of the military is baseless, for we are all familiar with their 'reputation'. However, if we are to find the right person whom they respect and would follow orders from, I believe we can have a military who will not only be our protectors, but more importantly, our liberators.

Abnormal situations require abnormal solutions...

AN APOLITICAL MILITARY?

Are we that naive to believe that the military should be apolitical, whose support should not be solicited even by the very people they have sworn to protect?

This administration, naturally, would favor this because they know that without the military's support, we don't stand a chance of removing Arroyo from power. She knows this first hand because she was a beneficiary of the military coup in 2001.

People who harbor this sentiment are as hypocrite as Gloria!

The usual call for soldiers to "follow the chain of command" is in itself a political order favoring only those in power.

Being an armed organization, the military would always be called upon to act. now, my question to these people is: on who's side would you rather see them fight?
