A Sinking Ship

Let's look at the IKF as though it is a ship.  For the past 20 years it has wandered the seas not really going anywhere. Then the Captain asks for help in setting a course. All the ships officers who have kept the ship running are called together to make a plan. After all their inputs the ships captain says MUTINY! You  know nothing of running a ship- I am the captain!  The officers get into a life boat and leave the ship. The Captain immediately runs the ship into  a rock and the ship starts sinking. What is there to do?

1. Repaint the ship and  add new stripes to the sides?
2. Make the  stewards all officers and get them to get the sinking ship off the rock?
3. Or drop the life boats and try to rescue as many people onboard as possible?

The ship is not repairable. The Captain has lost all credibility. The crew do not trust him anymore.

The Officers will not return to duty, but they return to the ship to rescue those who do not want to be on the sinking ship. Who is to blame? It does not matter- the ship is sinking and the main thing to do at this moment is to get everyone to a safe  harbor. Then plans can be made for a new ship and a course set.

This is my take on the situation.  To me it does not matter what forms you do, how you wear your patch, or what terms you  use.  You were all on that ship and you all are Kuntaw. Let's plot a new course and not make the same mistakes this time.
