THE MADNESS OF THE MILITARY

I could'nt even sleep well last night, thanks to a bunch of jobless people. I woke up so upset because i was disturbed by some military brats, shooting indiscriminately and destroying properties. Its a shame that at this age and time people still think with thier feet. What started as a normal sunday groove turned out to be a bottle of beer too hot to gulp. Now they all want to trade blames.

Don't mind my ramblings. It all started late sunday night at The Krab; one of the most disgusting purb i've come across in recent times. Some guys on one table were having a birthday get-together and on the opposite table, a group of soldiers were boozing with their girls. After so many bottles, obviously, everyone got high. One of the girls from the soldiers' table excused herself to take a pee. Maybe she left everything out after peeing, which left the guys at the birthday table with no choice than to swat her butt as she passed by. When she got to her table and reported the incident to her man, that was the turning point and the beginning of the fracas.

We all know how soldiers behave, even when no provoked. They immediately got up to confront the guys at the other table for having the effrontery to touch their girfriend's ass. Things soon got out of hand, and the girl's boyfriend got stabbed in the hand, for all his troubles. The soldiers obviously didn't expect the other guys to react so viciously, and when they realized that they were outnumbered, his colleagues left to call for backup. Instead of waiting for his friends, the aggrieved soldier still pursued the other guys. Eventually, he got ambushed, beaten and then ran down with a car. His assailants didn't stop there, they even smashed his head in with a brick.
He died on the spot, just like that. He died because somebody touched his gal's ass. Was she raped? What a foolish way to die.

The dead soldier's colleagues came back last night, shooting indiscriminately, vandalizing properties belonging to innocent citizens and especially disturbing my sleep. They didn't even destroy anything at the disgusting place called "The Krab". Instead, they vandalized other points like Fiesta Fries, Little Havana, and Monique Pointe. That was an act of cowardice on the part of the soldiers. So much for military bravado.

Eqn.1: Irresponsible soldiers + bottles of beer = madness

Eqn.2: Mental madness + physical madness = social madness

I am not condoning the actions of the young men who harassed the soldier's girl and later killed him. They should be made to face the consequences of their inhuman actions. What I do not like is ithe trigger-happy nature of our soldiers and the way they always go around sniffing for trouble. I still feel that soldiers belong in the barracks, and with the total disregard which they have for the law and the lives of civilians, we would be better off if they remain in their barracks. They see civilians as being of lesser pedigree, and always try to assume a level of invincibility because of their uniforms. This nonsense must stop. The job of the military is to defend the people, and not to oppress them.
