AFTER RISING from the ashes like a phoenix and soaring to new heights, the field marshal of a leading force is being forewarned of attempts to undermine his army with its tentacles in many places.
At the centre of all the confusion is what some are saying is an out-of-control tender gender lieutenant.
This officer in skirt has been bawling out commands, threatening and treating subordinates with no concern for who is looking on at this ugly behaviour on the parade square.
This lieutenant, who is behaving like a warlord leading prisoners on the Bataan march, has so affected morale that even the strongest of soldiers in the army cannot now make it past Collymore Rock.
So even young, sturdy soldiers are leaving the army, others are reporting to the infirmary, some are taking an early leave and, of course, others are being booted out.
Even the reserves and support regiments are fed up and have complained about this unyielding lieutenant with whom they no longer want to broker any deals.
Some members of the detail are so upset that they plan to take a jet to the USA to air their concerns to the brigadier general who was last seen somewhere in Florida.
Rotten serial offender
THE PINT-SIZED click click man just doesn’t seem to be able to help himself.
He caused a commotion near the Bridgetown Port last Sunday when he was caught doing what no real man should be doing.
A number of people, whom he would rather not have seen him in this situation, apparently gave him a loud shout-out.
“Famous mock hair man, stop doing what you are doing,” they said.
Even today, people say it could be heard reverberating from as far away as Warrens.
And just imagine the men in blue have already had to deal with this click click man only recently for his dastardly deeds.
Bumbling deputy
IF THE ORIGINAL short German had accepted such incompetence from his second-in-command perhaps World War II would not have lasted so long.
The modern-day version installed his general to blend all of his territories, yet after a month no document has reached his Reich, so an extension of six months was given to that general.
It will be interesting to see if that totally gone green general, who does not have a piece of paper on his two desks, will use the interim to deliver for the short one.
Weekend water trips essential
IF STILL WATER RUNS DEEP, then this stilled water apparently drinks sweet.
Just ask Hop-Along, who is on sick leave but amazes people at her workplace as she has been visiting that place on weekends to navigate steps with her cane while taking gallons of water to her car.
Perhaps that special water was recommended for her mystery ailment which flared up a few weeks ago.
