Rotating top military post

From Rakyat Merdeka

Mr. M Yusuf of South Jakarta must be wrong when he said in his letter to this newspaper on June 11, 2001 that only the army was fit to hold the position of the Indonesian Military's commander- in-chief.

History shows that in a span of 30 years many human rights violations have been committed by the Indonesian Military (TNI) with a member of the army occupying the position of its commander-in-chief.

In my opinion, Widodo AS of the Indonesian Navy has successfully led the TNI and ensured that it has stayed on the right track. For Indonesia, the position of the Indonesian Military's commander-in-chief must be assigned to the Army, the Navy and the Air Force on a rotating basis. If it is now the turn of the Air Force to get this position, then let them have it. Otherwise, questions may arise.
