A short statement with no real evidence why you think our government is terrified of a military coup? There is no sence in what you are saying here.<br /><br />The government is plain ignorant and has very bad advisors who do not know how to improve our defence force.Sarge Walonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28244882.post-52713070305276952362010-01-14T08:37:05.670+10:002010-01-14T08:37:05.670+10:00Fully support Reg's comments.
The Government ...Fully support Reg's comments.<br /><br />The Government has no need to be afraid of a military coup by the PNGDF if it does the following:<br /><br />1) Support its military by giving it more realistic roles to perform now;<br />2) Give Defence a realistic budget;<br />3) Appoint only senior, mature, operationally very experienced and credible Colonels as future Commanders;<br />4) Use the PNGDF in many internal security and development tasks to assist the police and other government departments as in the past;<br />5) Upgrade its run-down facilities the Australians buit and left at Independence;<br />6) Keep it fully occupied during the year so it does not get bored in the barracks.<br /><br />The PNGDF will be a strong professional force if the Government is very serious about its roles in developing PNG. At present it is unused because Prime Minister Somare leadership has failed to do anything about our countr's security since Independence.<br /><br />Former servicemen now supports this call to improve our defence force as part of PNG's future development in the pacific.Kompani Komandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28244882.post-69206245201159954462010-01-11T10:44:58.052+10:002010-01-11T10:44:58.052+10:00The Government is terrified of a military coup so ...The Government is terrified of a military coup so dont expect any change soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28244882.post-51165845238309836372010-01-11T09:57:19.710+10:002010-01-11T09:57:19.710+10:00Great comments by Reg.

Congratulations to Francis Agwi on his promotion and appointment as our new PNGDF Commander.<br /><br />Agree with Reg that the new commander must now appoint a new defence command team to help him with the stalled reforms.<br /><br />The PNGDF needs total government support as with every national emergency the PNGDF is there, even with the limited resources it has; it has done a good job for the country.<br /><br />Keep the good comments coming Reg. The public wants to know what can the force do now with a new commander as there politicians who have no real clue as what the PNGDF should be doing.Mary Noelnoreply@blogger.com
