عون يرفض طرح مقبل بـ"ترقية روكز وتأجيل تسريحه"

Never forget that Caporal is an insane person.

There are 20 other Christian generals in the LAF that have more seniority than Roukuz and are more deserving of the post.

Look at him.. poor fellow, paying the price for his pappy in law's grand illusions and the midget's narcissism.

I don't understand: simply promoting him is illegal, but promoting him to head of the army is legal? Am I missing something?

Brigadier General Roukoz, who was married to General Aoun’s daughter some years back, is a career soldier with over 30 years of service to his belt. He currently serves as the Commander of the Maghawir, or Special Forces Regiment of the Lebanese Army. He has played a leadership role in major army battles, including the Battle of Souk Al Gharb (1983), Operation Dinnieh (1999), Operation Nahr El Bared (2007) and Operation Saida (2013) against the fundamentalist forces of Sheik Assir.
Brigadier General Roukoz has been awarded many medals for valour and service at a Lebanese and international level.

Certain media outlets constantly claim that General Aoun, a career soldier and previous Commander of the Lebanese Army, is seeking the appointment of Brigadier General Chamel Roukoz as Army Commander. General Aoun has stated that his priority is the appointment of a capable person for this position from a group of eligible soldiers, including General Roukoz, rather than an illegal extension of the current Army Commander.

يا جبل ما يهزك ريح

Amine Gemayel was elected President of Lebanon with Christian political will after Bashir was, enough bs.

(2). At this very sensitive point in time, as Lebanon is crossing a very delicate stage of its history, instead of making all the wrong moves as usual, Aoun should shut tight his hole and leave the army make its decisions. Roukoz in my opinion is finished, by keeping so quiet about the whole issue, he has marginalized himself yo the point where most Lebanese will not want anything of him or from him. This is one officer who because of an complete idiot, will have to be retired sooner than later.

(1). General Roukoz is a fine soldier and officer, he commands our respect and admiration and this is an LFer speaking. But like everything that Aoun touches, he turns gold to dust. Aoun is an opportunist, who doesn't give a damn about Lebanon or the Christians, Aoun is Michel Aoun Incorporated. Michel Aoun keeps saying things, yet keeps denying the very principles of what he says. Now General Roukoz has become a burnt card all because of his father in law's extreme stupidity coupled with his insane greed and his culture of bastardizing the very concept of the Lebanese constitution. Aoun keeps talking as if the Lebanese Army did not have any other officer but Roukoz to replace general Qahwaji.

Tell me please what happened to the other contender to this important position, who was by far more capable, who was the hero of the Naher Al-Abared clash with the Bashaar Al-Assad group, who crossed the red line drawer by Sayed Hassan and paid the ultimate price. Where is he today? Is there another sinister side to this luntatic called Aoun that we fail to see?

@beiruti
You are 100% correct. Allow me to ad that the day Bachir was assassinated is also the day Lebanon started sinking... until today this sad process is on going

Bahiyya Hariri is an elected MP by the people so is Saad. Ahmad Hariri is a party official and not a government official. Basil failed the elections twice. Roukuz was not elected. Get your facts right.

مصادر عسكرية اكدت لـ"النهار" ان مؤسسة الجيش تضم راهنا 100 وضابطين مسيحيين موارنة من رتبة عميد ركن من دورات الاعوام بين 1980 و1985، يحق لكل منهم قانونا ان يتولى القيادة، بموجب المرسوم الاشتراعي الرقم 102 الصادر عام 1983 والذي ينص على ما يأتي: "يعين قائد الجيش من بين الضباط العامين المجازين بالاركان، الذين لم يسبق ان وضعوا في الاحتياط، بمرسوم يتخذ في مجلس الوزراء بناء على اقتراح وزير الدفاع الوطني". وكرس التوافق الوطني ان يكون قائد الجيش مسيحيا مارونيا. ويطرح في التداول نحو 10 اسماء بارزة، يتمتع اصحابها بصفات مميزة، وتولوا وظائف قيادية ومهمات عملانية ومراكز ادارية رفيعة، ويتمتعون بخبرة ميدانية، وخاضوا معارك مهمة اصيبوا وانتصروا فيها، تخولهم تبوّؤ هذا المركز، تماماً مثل العميد روكز. واذ لا تنكر المصادر كفاءته وشجاعته وخبرته الميدانية، يشيرون الى انه يأتي في المرتبة 14 بين رفاقه العمداء، بحسب التراتبية والاقدمية، فلماذا يحرمون الحق في تولي هذا المنصب؟ وأين تكافؤ الفرص؟

لماذا يريد عون شامل روكز قائداً للجيش؟

So just because he is the son in law, March 14 wants to remain blind & skeptic in the promotion of a dedicated Soldier?
