The problem here is not the army but the bankrupt and corrupt politicians that have used and abused a legitimate institution to acquire and retain power. Obote was accused of doing it, Idi Amin did it too, and now Museveni is doing it. Each one of these less than illustrious presidents have abused the military institution that is rightly meant to protect the sovereignty of Uganda to intimidate voters and oppress and crush their political opponents, an entirely disfunctional arrangement the military was not supposed to serve. Most socalled generals in the UPDF are really crude politicians who are pretend military because they know it serves their political self-aggrandisement. For one thing they are not professional, they have never attended any formal military training, and it explains why up to date the military, UPDF, has remained unprofessional because it is run or misrun by unprofessional generals whose real intent is it to use it to acquire and retain political power. There are so many soldiers within the UPDF who are equally abused as the civilian population is because they are there to serve the interests of the corrupt ruling elite. If the ordinary people power wont dislodge the current corrupt political order and dispensation, somebody in the equally disaffected lower ranks of the military will, or a combination of both will. There is no way this disfunctional arrangement that serves only the political interests of the corrupt despots is sustainable for ever.
