Security observers agreed that what the military top brass said was a tacit response to the controversial report of the Amnesty International which called for sanction against some named serving sync retired military chiefs accusing them of violating human rights in the war against the terrorists.
Badeh made this remark in his office at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja when the Coalition of Civil Society Group paid him a solidarity visit.
According to him, the Nigerian armed forces are not aliens to war, recalled how it had fought the 30 months of the civil war between 1967 and 1970 yet the country remained one.
The CDS argued that the war against Boko Haram would soon become history.
His words; “One thing that the armed forces is doing is that we are not deterred by criticism, in war nothing is equal and people behave differently under pressure. And war is the worst form of pressure any normal human being can ever face, so if there are one or two infractions out there at the venue of war it is normal.
“It happens in every army, the most developed armies had committed worst crimes.”
Badeh said they welcomes FG's decision to investigate Amnesty International report and awaits action.
