Wallie:

What makes you think the soldiers were shooting aimlessly? You think this is the movies? Even assuming argunedo that your assertion is right, there are 7200 seconds in 2 hours; how long do you think it takes for a single shot to be fired and how long would it take to exhaust all the bullets if they were fired serially? In your infinite wisdom, do you think soldiers pinned down should be firing one weapon at a time? In which direction should the single weapon be fired? Do you have any idea what the terrain looks like?

Jakumo:

Anyone who has never experienced the utter chaos and panic of a full-blown firefight would have trouble understanding that much of the shooting is not even aimed, but intended to pin the enemy down to facilitate an advance, rapid change in firing positions, or a tactical retreat, while firing in "spray and pray" mode, most of the time now even knowing how many kills were actually made.

EasternLeopard:

Post the picture of your father so that we can verify your info

We want to be sure that you are not an anti-GEJ who wants to stir up protest against GEJ

2015 is at the corner and people are ready to cook up stories to win sympathy votes to their political parties

komekn:

I have been on this forum in excess of 7 years, and this is the first time I feel great desire to use abusive language, ARE YOU DERANGED AND DEVOID OF ALL SENSE OF DECENCY

Sincere9gerian: Meanwhile, it appears the current service chiefs are confused? Or is it just a mere coincidence that Boko Haram attacks increased significantly under their watch?

EasternLeopard:

Why won't I be crazy to you just because I asked that he should be cross-examined properly before crucifying your most hated enemy GEJ

I know you will believe him because his comment paints GEJ as a culprit

atlwireles:

You proved to be the only sane mind on this thread. Op, Name your dad and tell us his army serial number, your story will be verified within an hour. I have followed all your comments on this thread, people like you are clearly more deadly than boko haram.

Ibnsultan: anonther sick jonathanian on the loose

seaman007: 30 to 60 bullet for each soilder
whc is 30 multiply by 45
Is 1350 bullet


45 trained soldier won't shoot aimlessly
I rest my case

Ibnsultan: @madamoringo. So on point in some areas. Our troops go in blind and deaf. About leaving the job. Who's going to defend the country

Will you then stop supporting jonathan or find another excuse for him? These bloody retar.ds will drag the country to its death.

chucky234: My father who is one of the senior officers attached to the 3 Division of the special force in Damaturu who were ambushed of the 27th day of July.
The soldiers were attacked based on info supplied to them by moles in the army, they were surrounded but decided to fight and die galantly and put up a fierce fight with the insurgents for 2hrs until the were out of amunition and was shot by the insurgents who were more than three hundred in number.
My father gave up the ghost on the 30th of July due to multiple gunshots sustained, until his death he was one of the bravest and finest soldiers to have graced the Nigeria army.
.
He was due to retire in January 2015 but he chose to fight and die for his fatherland, the master of MPG and heavy weapons.
149 Battalion, 3 Division and the entire Nigeria Army has lost one of its bravest and fearless soldier.
He spent four years fighting in Liberia and three years in Sierra Leone as one of the Nigeria contigents to ECOMOG.
He also spent three years in Bakasi civil war, one year in Ivory Coast, three years in Bayelsa/Warri as part of the JTF to curb militants activities in the Niger Delta.
He spent two years in Borno/Yobe fighting the Boko Haram menace, he was giving a national burial along with other fallen heroes today in Bauchi state..
.
MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PEACE.

madamoringo:

Yes Sultan, good question. Keep in mind that I am not unaware that the Army and our forces are there to defend the country but if the country represented by its leadership will not defend and care for our Forces, then they have every right to refuse to be sent to certain deaths collecting 500 / day (~ $ 3 / day) while the same country and leaders loot billions of dollars per day!

EasternLeopard:

NL is full of people who can set this nation on fire

That is why people like me decided to become more vocal in making sure their evil arrow is halted

Imagine some people using monikers that make them appear to be from one part of the country so as to use it to demoralise the people

When your father complained of poor equipment and 500naira allowance instead of 3000naira, why didn't you open a thread like SIRIUSBLACK to draw the president's attention.

I repeat

Give more evidence to convince us that you are not one of those who are here to set the nation ablaze.

VirginFinder:

This man!

You are a pathetic human being!!

No matter what, you are supposed to empathise, sympathise and condole with the OP first and foremost.

You are supposed to give him the benefit of a doubt.

It's not easy for someone to just come and claim that his father is dead with the aim of bringing the president down.

Even then, the topic is not yet on front page. Shows it's still being monitored.

Be careful!!!

chucky234: He called me some weeks back and was complaining about the poor and inadequate amunition given to them, in Liberia and Sierra Leone was more than enough bullets for them to fight with but here they are given 30 to 60 bullets each day.
The current Commander in Chief, GEJ is not helping the nation, just 45 solidiers engaged 300 insurgents in a fiearce gun battle for 2 whole hours yet no land or air backup.
The soldiers fought till they ran out of bullets yet didnt run away but chose to die, this country is not worth dying for.

Jakumo:

Our man Eastern Leopard is most likely a lawyer by trade, and he comes here to relax and practice playing devil's advocate, deliberately opposing the accuracy of facts, reports and opinions that he secretly knows are right all along.

Fxwarrior:

He should thank Seun daily that this is a faceless online forum. If he should try this rubbish offline am sure his head should be on the floor by now.What nonsense.

Rich4god: You can imagine... Assuming those soldiers deployed at Osun for election were taken to Borno, in addition to those on ground... BH would have been history by now...
