[Summary] => Ferdinand Marcos started it, and EDSA 1 and 2 reinforced it. Im referring to the politicization of our military and police, which is one of the biggest hindrances to any effort to recover from our status as a banana republic.
Low-ranking soldiers and cops are confused. In recent weeks different factions have been recruiting them for all sorts of activities that have nothing to do with what cops and soldiers are paid to do. Just say no, you say? Its not that easy to do in an environment so poisoned by partisan politics.
