Defence chief ‘forced out’ after 40 years swears: I’ll never forgive
According to three sources familiar with the matter, he {Captain Samuel Evans} was the top choice of the Christie administration to succeed Roderick Bowe, who retired in 2015, as commodore of the Defence Force; however, the administration reluctantly chose Commodore Tellis Bethel instead because he had enormous backing from the US government.
This one sentence quoted immediately above is a very telling one. The U.S. government has collected intelligence information over the years on many of our defense force officers who have either engaged in activities they should not have engaged in or have been at the scene of questionable activities, including crimes, but did not come forward with information that they should have known. We've all heard stories about the subsequent disappearance of contaband turned over to the RBDF by U.S. DEA officials, among other alarming things.
In exchange for the U.S. government's assistance to (and close coordination with) the RBDF in fighting the smuggling of contaband and human trafficking through Bahamian waters, our government quite naturally allows the U.S. government the input they wish to have in more critical senior level appointments at the RBDF.
No matter how poorly Captain Evans may have been treated upon his forced retirement, it's ashame he elected to run to the press on a note of sour grapes rather than hold his head high after a 40-year career. But that's his prerogative.
