Military judicature actually exists! It acts and produces results!
“Sworn Administrative Inquiries” might be the most effective way of
covering up any offenses of the Hierarchy… The constantly repeated and
multiplied complaints of hazing incidents against both soldiers and the
students of Productive Schools might encounter the main characteristic
of civil justice – that it is blind…
The investigations and judicial proceedings regarding fatal accidents
might have never revealed the true culprits – the government policy
which in the name of martial readiness and combat effectiveness
systematically sacrifices staff, as it always murders the victims a
second time by blaming them…
But as for military judicature and the military prosecutor…
They are in full readiness to virtually destroy any young person who
gets entangled in the cogwheels of compulsory conscription. The
offspring of the rich, famous athletes and artists and journalists of
the regime might enjoy a multitude of privileges and facilitations… But
not anyone who is truly in need, not anyone who for purely procedural
reasons, which of course are beyond the control of simple citizens,
finds himself on the boundary of law and order provisions!
This happened to G.K. who has been living in the UK for 11 years.
He came to Greece for a few days due to serious family reasons and
for a job interview. While on his way back to the UK, at passport
control it was found that he had exceeded the stay limit for people who
have not fulfilled their military service and live abroad, by 3 days.
After checking the dates of his flights during the year (which is
certainly not rock solid evidence as he may have left and come back to
the country by other means of transport) it was suggested by the
military prosecutor that he should be prohibited from leaving the
country.
He was arrested and detained for several hours at the airport
security building where he testified. Apart from the trial he now must
face, a ban on him leaving the country was issued. All this even though
he was just a pending appointment (with the Greek embassy in London)
away from the right of an annual six-month stay in Greece. In just six
months he will be 35 years old and can buy off the service.
Now he is stuck in Greece and will almost certainly lose his job in
England where he has an underage son (with British citizenship).
The reply of the army to the above was “You should have been more
careful; we can’t do anything”. Does anyone dispute the characterization
of civil justice as blind, barbaric and class driven? Military justice
has again exhibited extreme rigor and complete indifference: let you
lose your job, let your child stay far from his father.
And to think that the vast majority in the military are war
professionals who have never experienced the jungle of labour relations
in the private sector but chose a military career for professional
stability.
They decide for G.K. and every G.K. who compulsory conscription
recruits as free labour and as a consumable for their military
adventurism.
