Major General (retired) Joseph Nkaissery has to let go. He must de-militarise himself. Nkaissery is living in a time warp circa 1990s when he served as a military officer. Admittedly, decisions made and orders given by senior military officers are not subject to interrogation. That is understandable in the context of the barracks.
In time of war, the commanding officer takes responsibility for his actions; there is no buck passing. Were an order to charge the enemy be countermanded by a junior officer in the thick of things, a minute’s hesitation could change the tide in favour of the enemy.
