Read what Dr. Lionel Von Frederck Rawlins, a US marine, who has worked in Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East and Far East as a counter-terrorist specialist, and A forensic criminologist and security coordinator at the American University of Nigeria, has to say about MORALE of the Nigerian Armed Forces: “We [the Nigerian People] have to give the military the support that it needs and if you don’t give them that support, it is very demoralizing for the soldiers. It erodes their confidence and their morale to know that ‘I am fighting to defend you and then when Boko Haram insurgents are killed, you turn around and blame me, but when Boko Haram kill 50, you don’t say anything.’ You don’t go after them with the same force and the same venom; you don’t go after them like you go after the military when people are killed and to me, that is unfair. If you are going to do it, do it both ways. Tell the bad guys that what they are doing is wrong and tell the good guys as well that what they are doing is wrong when they go wrong. -end- Well, I have raised this issue a couple of times in the past - why should the Armed Forces be encouraged to fight with all these bad-mouthing from the Nigerian elites?
