Jesus Christ loves you and wants to save you from sin and its consequences. Vanity upon vanity—everything in this world is meaningless without Him. He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in Him, accept His gift of forgiveness, and receive eternal life! (John 3:16)Bvcghz

This is exactly what came into my mind. The military leadership has failed woefully. Where are the soldiers of the caliber of Gen Odartey-Wellington, Major Courage Quashigah, Captain Tsikata and others who were strategists and soldiers soldiers? Do we not have those sort of trainings that made those galant soldiers sought after in the world? Where are the Achiase jungle warfare soldiers? It’s very sad. And this was a helicopter carrying officials including the defense minister. Then how would it have been if those were just citizens? If it were in some other countries, those heads would have resigned by now.

Simeon, this is not about movies. Are you in the UK? I have been to many countries throughout the world and I’m talking from experience. Anytime there’s such an unfortunate situation—a rescue helicopter is deployed to the scene immediately. Can you read what you wrote and do a simple Google search of such rescue missions? You’re probably one of those supposed to offer such an assistance or you’re probably related to one of the top capos who shirked their duties.

@Aluta, who informed you that no rescue helicopter was at the scene? Stop this inferiority complex syndrome amongst some of us. Two aircrafts were deployed for the mission. A helicopter at Brofreyedu plus two ambulances and a military transport aircraft at Kumasi Airport which eventually transported their remains to Accra. The only mistake on the part of the military was allowing the people of the town to carry the remains whilst they were with cameras videoing the process. they were supposed to do that no matter how difficult it was to carry the remains from the mountain. What is the essence of their training? Are the locals stronger than the trained soldiers?

@OXYGEN, I did not see a rescue helicopter in the videos that were circulated. When did the rescue helicopter arrive? Maybe you were the only one who saw it? If that helicopter had arrived, the scene wouldn’t have been that bad. The helicopter could have helped house the flames. These are standards everywhere. You even see hikers who are stranded or lost being searched for using these helicopters. I did not see any of such rescue helicopters. Can you provide the videos? I only saw the locals helping with everything while about two military folks were just there, looking confused. Once again, it all depends on the training. Let’s call a spade a spade. I don’t have to say these things, but anyone who looks at the existing videos will come to the same conclusion. Let’s stop the mediocrity.

The functions of the Ghana army are to stage coups and beat up civilians. These cowards cannot fight in any war.

SAS, l know that you remember the stupidities of the Military during the murderous and dictatorial regimes of Rawlings in Ghana, particularly at Gondar, Kamina Barracks, Koforidua, Michel Camp and what became torturous Military Centers during the AFRC and PNDC days of Rawlings. Those were terrible and horrible times when Ghanaians lived under Curfew Hours and could be sent to any Military Barracks to be tortured. I remember you very well at Koforidua and I know what the people of Koforidua went through under NKWANTABISA and the wicked Military that were camped at Koforidua just to torture people. I am glad many of them had painful and horrible deaths. Ghanaian Soldiers are trained to just be horrible to citizens whenever there are Military disturbances. Call me at 16789490334. Thank you.

Look, this is not about invading anywhere. Get it: this is about search and recovery. This is done everywhere I’ve lived in the world. Immediately an unfortunate event happens, you’ll see a helicopter dispatched to the scene and if there needs to be paratroopers, they do their thing. Stop justifying incompetence.

There’s nothing childish about what the man says. The whole world is laughing at us. We couldn’t dispatch another helicopter or aircraft to the scene? I’ve lived in many cities in the world and this is standard practice. And the fact that a defense minister was on board is a serious issue. What if the defense minister was kidnapped? Do you know the security implications? Just Google and see what this means.

@Oxygen, you appear to lack scenario analysis skills. Just give the videos from the scene to anyone (rational) anywhere. I showed the videos to friends from different countries and they all concluded that there was an issue. You are either one of those with responsibility to do the right things, but failed to do so, or you just simply lack critical analytical skills. We need to sit down and call a spade a space. We have indulged in so much incompetence that it becomes a norm. And people like you justify those incompetent behavior by branding people who call out the wrong as “too known”. This incompetence pervades all spheres of Ghanaian life. Sad.

That is Ghana for you. Every TOERAG has enough nonsense it calls an opinion. Objects flying in air spaces do not follow highway routes. When they fall off the radar, a protocol has to be established as to 'search and rescue', especially when inaccessible forest areas are concerned. That takes brains that this Solomon Owusu inflated bush meat doesn't have! Not forgetting the fact, the curiosity of our locals to make a buck out of any accident scene.

Saga, the man said the right things. I have lived in many countries where the system works and helicopters are dispatched immediately following these events. Don’t justify incompetence.

The Army is not scattered in every community. The army exist in Battalions in 9 out of 16 Regions. However, each region is ASSIGNED to a Battalion to conduct operations. All the Battalions are located at Regional Capitals. If roads to communities are bad and takes FOREVER to travel to areas that should have taken 30 minutes so you blame Army? Army men are recruited from the Ghanaian community and so they are not super humans. They don't have wings to fly they use platforms provided by the state. The effectiveness of the platforms gives the effectiveness of the Army. Simplicita.

The terrain will determine how fast an army unit arrives at a location from another location. You have Dirty Cotton Wool Serving As Your Brain. Change it.

You don’t politicize any security agency namely Army,Police, and others,so if you want to blame someone it’s your Darega Mahama you have to not Nana Akuffo Addo one of the best leaders Ghana ever had.
