I read a comment on Philippine Star dated 14 August that asks the question, “are we sending soldiers in Mindanao to be killed and why don’t they have check points?” I think that comment was reckless, it was written to taunt the capabilities of the soldiers. And checkpoint in the marketplace of Jolo, Sulu, well you are really sending our troops to manslaughter huh? Obviously, you have not been there or you don’t know the real scenery there. I bet, if someone will give you a million to join the battle and defend the territory, you wouldn’t? This soldiers, who some leftist barrate are heroes, but did you see them barge on the street and shout justice during the time of beheading of the marines? No of course and yes, that was part of the marines’ job so they don’t care. Yet, what we are forgetting here is that, these people are human too, brave indeed-or maybe not. They just want to earn 12 thousand pesos a month (loan and salary deductions not included) to feed their children).
