Jagdeo should reflect upon his folly and show some contrition

Oct 06, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I would like to take this opportunity to SALUTE the brave men and women of our armed forces; The Guyana Defence Force.
They are willing to put themselves in harm’s way to defend our territorial integrity against the potential threat of a military incursion by Venezuela. Guyanese, whether at home or abroad, should be rightly proud of our army; they have over many years proved themselves to be professional, impartial and committed servants of the soil.
It is such a shame that they were so appallingly and shamelessly used as political pawns by the PPP during the last election campaign. Speaking at a People’s Progressive Party campaign rally at Albion, Jagdeo told attendees that if they voted for the APNU+AFC coalition and that party won they ran the risk of having their homes invaded, and doors kicked down by the military. I trust Jagdeo will reflect upon his folly and show some contrition.
Isn’t it also ironic that the same military, much maligned by former Commander-in-Chief Jagdeo, would be so prepared to lay down their lives to prevent the Venezuelan army from invading the homes and kicking down the doors of every single Guyanese citizen regardless of race?
At this time each and every member of our armed forces deserves our heartfelt thanks and prayers.
Colin Bascom
