Aquino defends PNP chief - from Rappler

I used to be a Jaycee and this is an important creed.  However, after hearing the interview with the head of the country  on head of PNP, and saying that he is a friend, and that he is good despite the allegations of wrongdoing, and documented at that, this post is rather appalled with the support being thrown by the head of state to another head of an organization.....

It is thus a govt of friends rather than of laws.  Of dynasties, and friends and NGOs.....

OF men rather than of laws

Rational men do not go to war - Robert McNamara

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal Philippines   July 18, 2014

There is a rash of war:  in Africa, at Gaza strip, at Ukraine, Nokor saber rattling, China challenging the territories of the sea at South east Asia. there is a war in Syria and the constant bombing (by suicide bombers) in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq

We hear  lot of deaths.

And incidentally, there was movie that featured Mr Robert Mcnamara and the movie is titled "War Fog"

He was the former President of Ford Motors called by the Kennedy brothers to serve as Sec of Defense and later to Kennedy's successor Lyndon B Johnson.  He was referred to as the number cruncher called into the military.  He always wanted research and stats.   And when asked about deaths in Vietnam, he told it was only 25,000 of the reported 58,000.

He said about war:    "Rational man do not go to war; but there is limit to rationality"  And said that war is a very complex issue like having civilian deaths, and deaths of children (especially if the combatants hide among the civiians)
