Dear Editor,
All the noise about APNU+AFC setting the stage for the militarization of the nation is much ado about nothing.
At no time has any serving leader of the army (GDF) come out in open support of any government in Guyana. Ex-soldiers have answered Luncheon and the PPP’s accusation quite admirably.
As an ex-officer myself, I wish to add my support to this issue and say that Lee Kuan Yew, arguably the best leader in the 20th century, took bright Majors from the army in Singapore and sent them on Master’s programmes abroad to fine universities.
When they returned, they were put to serve in the government in high positions. This was not only due to their brilliance but their discipline.
Yours faithfully,
Oliver Hinckson MSc
