I don’t remember who said that military intelligence is an oxymoron, or a contradiction in terms.
That is obviously an exaggeration; but I find the joke consoling in the midst of the lame brained overzealousness personified by military General Antonio Parlade who has not inhibited himself from posting his red tagging thoughts on social media. It seems National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has dismissed another general for being political on social media; but Parlade seems to be an exception.
The military cites the fact that some University of the Philippines (UP) alumni have been killed along with New People’s Army (NPA) rebels. Well, if they had taken up arms against the government, that is the price they pay for freely pursuing their beliefs at the risk of their lives.
