Sa Facebook post ni John Paolo Nartetez, nagpakilala siyang reservist katulad ni Dantes ngunit siya ay dumaan sa ibang paraan upang makamit ang kanyang ranggo.
Ayon kay Nartetez, hindi niya nagustuhan ang mga naging pahayag ni Dantes patungkol sa pagkontra nito sa Anti-Terrorism Bill. Aniya, sumumpa si Dantes na ipagtatanggol nito ang ating bayan laban sa anomang banta ngunit kinokontra naman nito ang batas upang labanan ang terorismo.
“I hope you can be man enough to walk your talk and not let yourself be influenced by any political color,” sabi ni Nartetez.
Dagdag pa ni Nartetez, marami ng sundalo ang nagsakripisyo upang magkaroon lamang ng payapang pamumuhay ang bawat Pilipino. Marami narin lumads ang pinatay at nawalan ng kabuhayan dahil sa mga terorista. Sana raw ay makita ni Dantes ang mas malaking larawan ng katotohanan.
Aniya, ang mga kalaban ay hindi umano tumitigil kahit sa panahon ng pandemya. Ang ATL ang magiging instrumento upang mapanatili ang kapayapaan at katahimikan sa bansa. Hindi umano ito banta sa kalayaan.
Payo ni Nartetez kay Dantes, kung hindi nito kayang panindigan ang “military codes of conduct” ay umalis na lamang siya bilang reservist ng AFP.
“If you really can't live by the military codes of conduct, do us all a favor. Renounce from the AFP. Stop disgracing us!”
Narito ang buong post ni Nartetez:
To Dingdong Dantes:
"I, John Paolo N. Nartatez, am also a reservist. But unlike you, I didn't just obtain my rank without going through the process. I was an ROTC officer during college, finished both basic & advanced military science and underwent summer training in Camp Riego de Dios. As part of the AFP Reserve Corps, I'm so displeased with your recent pronouncements against the Anti-Terrorism Law. You made an oath to our flag that you will protect our motherland and its people from threats to our sovereignity. I hope you can be man enough to walk your talk and not let yourself be influenced by any political color.
Thousands of soldiers have perished in exchange of the peaceful environment that you and your family have right now. Tribal leaders and lumads have been mercilessly murdered, their properties destroyed and basic rights taken away by anti-government forces. Both foreign and local investors refused to establish businesses in areas known to have presence of terrorists. If you still can't see the bigger picture, you are dragging the entire Armed Forces with your shallow thinking. You are utterly neglecting your duty to the State by adapting the same thinking as the rebels.
The enemies don't rest even in this time of pandemic. The ATL is an instrumental tool into keeping peace and order, not a threat to freedom. I honestly don't mind your obvious affiliation with a political party as long as your political stand does not get in the way of fulfilling your duties. However, you need to understand that as an individual, your actions will reflect to the AFP. Whenever you speak, you are not only speaking for yourself but for us too. So please, if you really can't live by the military codes of conduct, do us all a favor. Renounce from the AFP. Stop disgracing us!"
