{UAH} 2 UPDF BATTALIONS?

I have not attended a mass funeral for a long time. I hear UPDF lost 2.5 battalions to rebels in Sudan in a single engagement.

How many soldiers are in two and a half battalions of UPDF?

I am powerfully reminded of the late SHARIAT newspaper which used to publish weekly updates of NRA casualties in northern Uganda. At the time, by Shariat reports, NRA was losing at least 2000 per week and Shariat was not interested in whether those were battalions or brigades.

And this is not to say UPDF is not paying in lives. Lt. Col. Ankunda has stated that they are not attending a tea party is South Sudan. What appalls me is that some forumists think a dozen soldiers are too few to lose in South Sudan and they wish there were more.

As usual, reality only dawns when the caskets arrive and we suddenly discover that we were all very well represented in the dying..... At such times no one measures noses!!!!!!!!!!!
