As if to add insult to the already damaged reputation of AFP, it suffered another steback in its offensive against the Muslim extremists that earlier ambushed and beheaded gov't forces. 20 soldiers were killed in separate skirmishes in Maimbung...20 dead soldiers against one fatality for the Abu Sayyaf...well, the roles have definitely changed...during the administration of Erap...the extremists were on the losing end when Pres. Estrada launched an all-out offensive...but what we see here is a crisis within the higher-ups in the military that has led to the setbacks that the AFP is suffering...
The military, clearly should have the upper hand against these extremists for a number of reason 1. they are better equipped 2. they have the numbers 3. they have studied the art of military strategies...but what the hell is happening...I think that changes should be implemented...or the Arroyo administration should stop hesitating and instead launch an all out offensive that should put an end to these terror groups in Mindanao...there is an impending security crisis in MIndanao....and it should be prevented...and besides, how many more young soldiers should lose their lives in order to address the problem in Mindanao...
