There are simply no buts here; you are still going back to the barracks where soldiers like you should rightly belong. The army serves the Karamojong, not the other way around. Let other institutions like the parliamentaria and schools educate the people, if they need education. Even with your stars you are still a servant to the Karamojong, believe you me. Whatever chakumchaka pseodo-socialist brainwashing you got in Kyankwansi or North Korea doesn't wash. I know this because my uncle was the Sandhurst trained first Ugandan Army Commander. Most of problems in Karamoja should have been solved now, if there weren't people like Vice President Specioza Kazibwe stealing money meant to build water collection earth dams that would allow the Karamojong to water their cattle, or soldiers like you who instead of defending and protecting Karamojong and their cattle end up stealing their livestock and murdering them. The UPDF service in Karamojong has been disgraceful. The NRM/UPDF is going about transforming Uganda the wrong way; you cannot build Uganda from the top to bottom. The only way one will succeed is by building from the bottom up by focusing on what has worked for generations, which is a lot and discarding what isn't working which isn't a lot. With its scorched earth guerilla warefare the NRM/UPDF destroyed the rural structures that were working and had not and still do not have anything to replace it with. Development isn't exercise in psuedo-political theorising, it is practical hard work rooted in and based on the realities of peoples lives.
