Do you remember the Laughing Man syndrome in Ghosts in the shell?
Apperently a prediction from a japanese author although it seems
we encountered one. Who knows if the guy actually exists or not.
In the future a war can be initiated by some random punk stuck in
the foliages of bahamas.
Personally I do not think army should have given a press release
(also with a political shade) to inflate such a bogus miscalculation.
They just don't do such a thing, there's court marshall and so many
barriers before this stuffs go public. In the long run however they
wanted to portray themselves, rather backfired. Although theres a
hypothesis (from some interesting persons!) that army is just initiating
an image building Phase, not sure if they'll succeed this way.
Coups are bad stuffs, people who desires power this way are
always in a sorry state of mind.
