Taking over the Legion
Dear Editor,
What should been an election for a new executive of the Guyana Legion on the February 24, 2013 became nothing short of a national disgrace.
Members of the Ex -GDF Association who applied to join the Legion probably thought that by joining the en bloc, might have got votes to install their executives of choice. No problem there but these points stood out clear.
1) Those Ex- GDF Members have literally squandered us taxpayers’ money of this country which was used to train and instill discipline in them.
2) The apparent plan to take over the legion by force, initially by spreading misinformation about the current executives using e-mails, posters and other derogatory means.
3) Disrespect of the legion’s building and Executive Members by using profane language, throwing of water, drinks on an executive member by female soldiers, refusal of Ex GDF males to take off headwear in the building, threats to do executive members harm.
4) However, point to note, there were ex -GDF members, who displayed their professional training and should disassociate themselves from the menagerie to which they find themselves connect.
5) The gallant men and women gave their lives to WWI and WWII must be thoroughly disgusted at the blatant indiscipline of the ex -soldiers and must be turning in their graves.
6) If any lesson was learnt by all the points mentioned, then if the ex GDF cabal takes over the Legion, may God help us all, the legion members, by the way when ex is placed in front of anything, it simply means it is not anymore, e.g. ex-wife, ex-husband, ex-prisoner, ex- soldier. I hope sincerely those ex-soldiers do not become ex -people or ex- human beings by their behavior.
