Colonel Milton Franklin, seated at Left, takes no responsibility for fatal explosion
The commander of RSMoK militia forces in Vrassa spoke out against the charges that RSMoK militia forces were responsible for the death of the People's Army soldier a month ago. Colonel Milton Franklin, already a controversial figure for his unwillingness to fully coordinate with both the Regulars and the People's Army in the ongoing fight against the New Army, and his alleged civilian depopulation efforts in some portions of the District, gave a brief statement on the death fo the soldier in June. Below are his remarks:
"No, those soldiers were in the wrong place. I am not entirely sure who gave the order to the People's Army to drive their convoy through my EOD's demo range, but we had signs clearly stating that there were live ordinance in the area, and we had pickets out along the road to stop vehicles from entering. The People's Army actually contacted us about traveling through to engage some supposed hostiles in the area, and we refused them entry into the range because we were actually performing demo of the IED's which we had cleared. So they went ahead and went anyway- they actually drove around our checkpoints. It's their dumb decisions who left their militiaman dead."
When asked if the RSMoK was going to suspend activities in the areas that the People's Army was operating in, Col. Franklin shook his head. "No. Suspend operations? We're on mine clearing duty... these IEDs ain't going to blow themselves up. What we are doing is important- So I would think the PA should clear with us before they go into our demo zone."
The outspoken Colonel added, with a note of personal pique: "Nice to see those boys out in the field. I guess Labour finally decided to get in the game, even if they killed one of their own guys doing it..."
