And a retired BDF Major is speaking up more plainly. Former PUP candidate and Retired Major Lloyd Jones today posted the following: "I am deeply pained by the abject failure of former military officers to effectively lead the MOD.
For the first time in the history of the BDF we had three former military officers and graduates of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst occupying the top three positions in the MOD: Min. Marin, Min. of State Mira and CEO Tapia. I was beyond elated at this and I applauded the PM for those appointments. What a wasted opportunity!
The revelations coming out of the MOD is especially painful particularly because these former military officers know firsthand the neglect that the BDF has suffered since 1990 when Belizeans took command from the British."
"I am hurting for the serving members of the BDF who must endure living on military camps that are in deplorable conditions, whose rations have been curtailed, who are ill equipped, and who must feel absolutely demoralized at this time."
