> Never in Uganda's history as a nation, have so many people been employed in unending wars. The question is; how many have so far been kirrud? And how many more does Museveni want to kirru? Ugandan's who are enlisting to fight these war should know they are wasting their lives. They are not fighting hounorable wars. They will never have a memorial built in their hounor, nor will they ever be called heros for killing fellow citizens.
