    I agree the soldiers must be punished but to suggest that the locals should face them with bows and arrows is unthinkable and stupid.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 10 years ago

    I am very well aware that that is not the best of ideas but if you or your family member has ever been brutalized by military officers before, you would understand. Is it not stupid for the soldiers to attempt to strip the gu ...
