Soldier slams identity politics within defence forces

Letters to Editor
Soldier speaks out about identity politics within defence forces

An Irish Soldier of 21 years has described the defence forces participation in Pride led by vice admiral Mark Mellett as "a contemptable abuse of power" . 

Soldier Mike Connell from Galway , has taken to social media to explain through a series of videos why he left the Defence Forces after 21 years of service ... "I feel I am duty bound by Oath to inform the public of the direction the Defence Forces is going, under the leadership of both our politicians and the outgoing Chief of Staff, Vice Admiral Mark Mellett"

In the video , Mr Connell who goes by the social media name "satirical soldier"  explains .. "the defence forces and the garda siochana are suppose to maintain an Apolitical stance (unbiased position) in order to remove perceived bias .The defence forces cannot be an organisation for all the people of Ireland if the minister for defence on any given day can force members to march for his/her favourite group , such a disgraceful show of favouritism only serves to damage the social fabric of our society by picking and choosing which cause is worthy enough to warrant military involvement"

the army and gardai need to be completely neutral on political issues so people can maintain trust in them . but if they start campaigning for various causes and joining up with certain political groups , this creates distrust and people begin to lose faith in them

the defence forces leadership doctrine states : - "Know that you never get involved in politics but you must understand it. Know political policy and strategy. Know that ultimately responsibility lies at the political level"

also , the oath of a soldier states "while I am a member of the Permanent Defence Forces I will not join or be a member of or subscribe to any political organisation or society"

clearly rules are being broken by taking part in politically motivated rallies

For more on the rules read this -https://www.military.ie/en/public-information/publications/df_leadership_doctrine.pdf
