Towards the end of an interview with the Fiji Times today:
"Times: Some have commented on the militarization of key government positions and you seem to be one of those that have benefited from the coup. What have you to say on this?
Mr Naupoto: The military is a nation building tool and we are trained in some of the best institutions in the world. I feel in the past we have been used too much as a watch dog with a chain. When something bad happens the dogs are unleashed to do a job and 2000 was a good example. When the job is completed the dogs are returned to the barracks and tied up again. If we look around there are so many military officers who have proved their worth and we are useful resources. To kill the coup culture the military must not be chained because when that breaks the dog bites. They need to be used in nation building.
When the police cannot handle the situation the military comes in the picture but when the job is done we are chased back to the barracks. History though has proven that military training is better than democracy. " Fijitimes online feature
I would agree with Naupoto that the army can be likened to dogs. For that is the way they are acting right now, like wild dogs!
However one needs to ask the question, if breeding dogs is necessary in the first place! Does Fiji need more dogs? With the current wild canine population so high in our country, another pack of two legged, green coated, gun toting wild dogs is not what we can handle right now!

WOOF! WOOF! RRRAAARF! Watson, did you let the dogs out?
Wild dogs can do alot of harm. Their bite can cause an infection called RABIES! They become a great danger to others and to themselves. When wild dogs carrying the rabies virus run loose, they send DOG CATCHERS to take them to the pound where they are put to sleep.

Any nation led by a military government is one who is controlled and manipulated into silence and robotic obedience. It takes away the freedom of thought and speech which need to be defended at all costs. Naupoto is WRONG to say that miltary training is better than democracy.
They may be trained in the best institutions but they have no training in dealing with people through the art of diplomcacy and tact. The only know how to use BRUTE FORCE to get things done their way. Military governments are oppressors and use their guns to wield their power. A military that uses guns to control and manipulate people into submission is a LOW DOWN, NO GOOD, OBNOXIOUS, COWARDLY one!
We need to seriously consider the need for continuing to have a kennel for of wild dogs that are so very expensive to keep. Because they have never really been at war with anyone, all they become is watch dogs. They just watch and take note of every small mistake the governments make. And if they do not like it, like rabid dogs, they come in for the kill with their lethal bites.
What we need to ask is do we really have any enemies that would try to invade us and if so will these dogs be able to stop an invasion? Are they equipped for a war on our soil? It just takes one smart bomb or one daisy cutter to destroy the kennel and the dogs!
Watson, I vote that we start breeding cats. They are clean, low maintainance, they can find their own food if our cupboards are bare and they do not make awful barking noises that disturb our peace & quiet. Yes, cats would be lovely to have........I vote the dogs out!
