Errors...

It's really disappointing to know that the soldiers killed ang beheaded by Rebels were doomed form the beginning...according to the investigation done by the military, a miscommunication betweeen the field troops and the station caused the failure of reinforcements that would have saved the lives of the fallen soldiers. It is also interesting to note that in the live footage captured by the GMA news team, it is seen that the mortars that the soldiers used did not fire or took a long time before it fired, this may have also caused the doom of the soldiers.

In this light, how could the goverenment tolerate such errors and malfunctions when a reasonable part of the national budget goes to the military...I think there is a need for the govt to address the issues in the military, particularly those raised by Sen. Antonio trillanes...By addressing the problems in the military, Pres. GMA could avert a crisis that she wish will never happen - a military led coup'de etat that could stem from the irregularitites from the govt. Also the continued deaths of our military forces may also lead to the demoralization of our troops which is the last thing we need when we are trying to win battles...
