Good day nairalanders

One of the armed forces growing up that I respect so much is the Nigerian army,I mean military men,I scarcely see them,they dress neatly with polished booths,with a good sense of discipline and some of them humorous...

But now I think things have changed, I don't know if it's the economic situation or political situation that is causing their erratic and their despicable behavior.

I was in the car going to work sometimes last year and I saw how some boys were told to lie down in a stagnant water,and these were guys whom are going to work that morning too,their fault as I later came to know was taking the wrong route,they are pedestrians, I was pained.

These so-called military guys can even cause artificial traffic gridlock,appoint some kind of tout to stand and collect money from motorists,this was something I have not seen before and I was informed military men don't do,I lost my respect for them

They beat people anyhow,they treat people like goats exerting all their energies in dealing with civilians who fell into their traps.

Just on Tuesday a boy was beaten to pulp for trying to ask what he did for being rubbished in the road, these military men got no joy,here on the internet space there is the news of a young man that was forced to swim in the gutters.

I think that this is getting out of hand,the military we have now are so different and criminal in attitude and acts,today we can even see military men gallivanting just anywhere, caring less of his profile and doing all sorts.

The military men should go back to that honour they used to have,they are fast loosing it like the Nigerian Police whom have lost theirs from Adam,the new intakes should be well drilled and the issue of excessive brutality by military men on civilians should be curtailed and the erring military men sanctioned, they are getting so power drunk,and if you're a military man here on Nairaland and you're doing the things mentioned above..bleep you

till civilians start standing up against it won't stop

Damnnn!!!!

They are fools

Airforce is still the most noble among the trio in Nigeria.
