“I would like to say this. Why argue publicly with a junior officer when you can talk to his superior? In the military, order flows from the top. It is a regimented service. No soldier is going to leave his duty post because some politician said he should. He did not post himself there. He was not posted there by the FCT minister. He was posted there by his superiors. The minister cannot issue a counter instruction to him. If a soldier is under instruction not to allow anyone into a location, there will be unpalatable consequences for him should he fail to comply with the order. That is how the military operates globally: soldiers do not take instructions from anyone outside the hierarchy of command.
