Jarhead,
That would very much be appreciated but I think that for now, this is our fight.
Yes, this war has been raging on for decades but if the human-rights group, liberal politicians, the corrupt landowners, and the greedy logging companies will just let the army do its job, this would have been over long time ago.
I very well understand that the army right now is fighting with one hand tied to it's back because of political pressure from organizations and individuals who have vested interest on the war to continue.
Most logging companies prefer the turmoil so they can harvest more than their alloted quotas without fear of government audits. The corrupt politician who depend on these logging companies for their "funds" in turn create havoc/disorganization in the house of congress hence disabling it. Some landowners too are guilty because they tolerate the abuses of the NPA/MNLF as long as they leave their farms alone. This cause the human-rights group to scream foul and spew lies to the media which then blames the army for everything.
This is the BS that the Phil. army has to face everyday which is why morale is so low and loyalty to the flag comes after a full stomach.
I pray that one day, things will change ....
