Well, it's the generals own choice. But one thing is sure, and that is the necessity of having good and competent people on the post. Having "political" figures in the military is a joke. Hopefully We'll get a professional army very soon.
Of course there will be many pov on how the current government is doing things, but fact is the previous governments until AKP came we're at the mercy of the military, during those times we didn't have many generals resigning, so go figur.
Maybe the military went overboard while protecting turkey, but as it is with many things when you start digging up dirt it won't stop. Perhaps there should be some precedence on how these kind of cases are handled.
Perhaps the decision to make military officers subject to civilian court was a mistake, but I am not convinced that a military court has authority to dish out punishments for coup charges. but one thing is certain, the more people are involved in this case the bigger it will grow, my cousin who is a judge in istanbul said that there was a need to establish "clearer" guidelines to who a prosecutor could indict.
From what he told me, it sounded like, "if you have any affiliation with a criminal, such as having spoken to him, there is a big chance you may be arrested", arresting people is meant to prevent them from destroying evidence or running away. But this way you end up arresting a crapload of people.
