TNI must be loyal to Pancasila<\/p>\n
From Suara Karya<\/p>\n
Several local newspapers recently reported there was a
\n\"virus\" in the Indonesian Military (TNI). This may be right, and
\nI call the virus \"radicalism\". What if President Abdurrahman
\nWahid, or Gus Dur, says TNI should not co-opt power, and it later
\nturns out that a few high-ranking TNI officers did co-opt power
\nfor themselves. In a real example, not long ago when Bondan fell,
\nAgus Wirahadikusumah also fell along with Saurip Kadi and his
\ncronies.<\/p>\n
In order for this country and its people to get out of its
\ncrisis, TNI must in my opinion fully support every effort to
\novercome the crisis. In order for TNI not to be co-opted by power
\nand vice-versa, I do not think we still need these types of
\nofficers.<\/p>\n
Referring to Saurip Kadi's latest book, I find it full of
\nnotes on TNI's past sins. I think, as it turns out, Mahfud, the
\nminister of defense, who is a civilian, knows and understands TNI
\nbetter than Saurip.<\/p>\n
Mahfud has continued to say that should there be mistakes by
\nTNI, they are collective ones. Do not think TNI is a God capable
\nof resisting the President and his legitimate administration.
\nPlease understand this, because if TNI dares resist the
\nPresident, they will be called rebels.<\/p>\n
Members of the society, therefore, kindly ask all concerned
\nparties to ensure that only TNI officers who love and follow
\nPancasila, the state ideology, fill strategic positions. Forget
\nthose radicals!<\/p>\n
