Comrades In a case of an 800 pound bear being in your room and there is one bed. Where does he sleep? Simple anywhere he wants. Its you who has to ponder.
The government is massive and so is the army. The soldiers that were dismissed was possibly a stepping stone in govt. drawing a line on certein conduct. I dont believe they undermined the grievances but it is probably to say you cant hold government at ransom, especially if you are essential services. The dismissals i dont believe is to avoid the grievances but more to deal with the action taken in addressing the grievance. A line needs to be drawn at some level. Remember that govt has a responsibility to uphold the law and secure its citizen. When the army strikes, that is an obvious deviation from its responsitbilities and therefore it needed to act. Surely the soldiers could have 1st opted to exhaust all possible legal options including exposure by media to push for a debate or highlight their grievances. Let us also not forget that the Capitalist laws are mainly economical and where the army strikes it is not a threat on Communism or Capitalism but a threat on National Security which is apolitical and witout which neither Capitalism or Communism can prevail.
