Does the Country need a military route march to show the army exists? Even North Korea is moving away from such archaic displays of barbarity. Why dont we route march the brains of this country, the economic successes stories, if any, of this country?
What do we want our children to emulate? destructive brute strength or progressive educaional strength. Sad Sad Sad !!!
Dear Mr. President;
I totally support Mr. Mr. Asiedu’s remark. I therefore urge you to use your good leadership and knowing very well that your ascendancy to power will not be characterized with use of force and brutality.
Please, put stop to this route march. It is not necessary at all.
Thanks.
