CAN SOMEONE please replace this dwarf/stunted growth sufferer as the head of the Somali Army? When former cab drivers are head of states this happens.

[Grigori Rasputin]

In all the other civilized countries know that projecting powerful image about their armies is paramount. The US’ generals are always over 6ft. This is to avoid having their army head to ever look diminutive before another foreign army leader.

in our failed state we have this dwarf representing us

 

[babooshke]

the issue isn't that he's short, the issue is that he is like 90 pounds and short making him look like a child. If he was like 160, he would be fine.

This is what’m saying.

No one in the decision making department ever gave a thought to the image of the armed forces of the nation.
Let’s be honest, image is everything, you have to obey this human nature. We are already a failed state, folks don’t take us seriously. At least let us fake it tell we make it but not fake it with a 90 pounds man

 

[IPushFatKids]

I don’t mind this diminutive stature if he is talented & garners respect from his soldiers. Let’s not forget Napoleon was a midget. Somalia is in desperate need for leadership, I don’t think we should be worried about optics ad image projection right now.

I agree we need that ina Bisad guy
He’s like 7’2 and would love to leave the west where they treat him like a freak

clearly the dude is incompetent. Just yesterday his whole contingent of a brigade in Hiiraan revolted.

please don’t disrespect Napoleon. The man fought his way to respectability .

 

[Abdalla]

Have you heard him speak? He has a high pitched voice, he oozes beta.

He's second in my 'irks me in the wrong way' list, just behind Puntland VP, tobacco chewing Ahmed Karaash

 

[codewebsduh]

He is well trained and a good representative of Somalis.

Which wars did he participate in?

Napoleon was not short compared to the people of where he lived and time.

You just don’t become a major general in a decade in a civilized nation unless you are a banana Republic or a truly failed state like Somalia.

Speaking of this ..

This guy here taught me a lot about height of the people throughout the preceding decades.


So Napoleon was a reflection of the people at his time. Their average height for a man was 5’4 then.

Just 80 years ago, people were 5’6. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and the whole nation of Japan were short. Didn’t mean that they were short but it was the height of the day and geography

 

[MT Foxtrot]

Which wars did he participate in?

The Somali Civil War?

It's not fair but people judge based on appearance and or presence. I still cringe at how Farmajo and Khayre acted and looked around Abiy Ahmed whilst he threw his body around them and imposed himself on their personal space.

Look at Putin, he is small but has powerful energy and body language, Odawaa is not an impressive or imposing figure and there is no need to act as if he is.

Somali politicians lost the art of body language, professional decorum etc, compare pre-civil war Somali politicians to present-day, you will be appalled. I recommend a good look at how SYL politicians looked and behaved around foreign dignitaries and you will see how far we have fallen.

And now we have to be humiliated by ex cab drivers from Toronto/London/Minnesota
/Melbourne

 

[Calaf]

You need to look mancho, tough, serious. Odawa has been good, but he does not have the same style as his previous commanders. Looks doesn't matter for now, as he eradicates AS, but later on, it might.
