I hope this time you have actually read what I said and wrote thoroughly and not selectively in regards to your comment that says "Politician may use the Armed Forces for their own interests."
Notice that I addressed that in the part where I said: "This Armed Forces will have other regional departmental sub-divisions that will be considered as something similar to the Reserves and National Guard in the USA that will be primarily be themselves under the directive of hopefully assigned Mayoral or Governors jurisdictions. The only military Branches that would be left in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti would be...
First - The Presidential and the Department Of Defense Concierge.
Second - A Sustainable Immediate or Intermediate Deployable Response Striking Team would be dispersed and allocated throughout the Country's major large cities principally Port-Au-Prince in the event of additional troops is needed to assist the Police Forces or in case of Emergencies such as natural disasters, Chaos Control, border security patrol.
Third - Let me or if I may add, I would completely militarize those surrounding little Haitian Islands and turn them into Military Town Societies and those little Islands are -- Ile De la Tortue (NORTH HAITI), La Gonave (CENTRAL HATITI) and Ile La Hatte (SOUTH HAITI) to work in conjunction, joint operation and corporation with other Nationss in the Caribbean and Latin-Americas such as for Naval, Air Force and Coast Guards stall station bases and so forth meanwhile as part of my deal is to use them and their resources as well to train the Haitian troops to become proficient in those branches.
I repeat and insist - My goal and plan for a Future New Haiti in 2025 and even 2030 does in fact include and involve indeed greater relations with our next door neighbors and our very own same Island inhabitants dearly the Dominican Republic through peaceful accords and civil amicability for a prosperous peaceful Hispaniola."
Laslty - For the Officers and Higher ups I would send them overseas for their Officer Learning Training & Courses and more or so forth.

Indeed, we do need an Army where its members are law abiding citizens and not thugs which is the first step. As an Army Cadet myself, let the truth be told that they even tell you at the Academy that you cannot afford to even virtually have all your regular, petty soldiers be all Intelligent brainiacs.
Reasoning and Smart individuals perhaps, yes, but not necessarily intelligent... Otherwise you will not have a single mission done or accomplished, and what you will have instead is a darn debate or insubordination as though it was some democratic process. Besides there is a quota that needs to be met and the more unemployed citizens we take off the Streets and provide them with a job while they are serving their Country should always be considered a major plus where both sides win. Yeah, democracy does not work in the military or a military anywhere. That is why it is a military. However, as an Officer you are held responsible and bestow upon you great responsibilities and trust to make sound decisions that do not unjustifiably compromise and jeopardize the welfare and well being of your Soldiers.
Nevertheless like you said and if you have read what I said in the post. This new Armed Forces should be more of or like a "Corp De Genie" that includes all these avenues you have mentioned to use that for the building and development of the Country, where those service members can also be used as man power for those mobilizing development tasks in and throughout the Country.
My friend,
Let me tell you something up front and direct. As Haitians, we have got to stop undermining every ideas someone propose and tarnish them with this kind of defeatist mentality and thinking of impossibility. Haiti has the possibility and perhaps even prospects of many Natural resources that are not or have not been explored simply because and due to cost and the lack of funding investments.
Haiti is poor indeed and only in the Western Hemisphere is it considered to be as the poorest, but Haiti is not the poorest in the Whole Wide World and surely not the only poor Nation. There are plenty of other poor Nations that have a strong enough military power to defend themselves. Besides, while we are paying the MINUSTHA's this almost indefinite paycheck where they have not shown us the slightest prospects of ever to withdraw from Haiti anytime soon, we could have used them by demanding of the UN to shift the mission to also train and help us build our Army back up with Constitutionally still exists on paper and because and under that premise that any invading force, peacekeeping or not, should have abide to this Constitutional premise that this should have been included within their block of instruction and phases plan within that Country of which they occupy right now.
If Haiti even had oil, do you think Haiti and the Haitian people would even know? Rumor has it that Haiti does possess a small amount of oil, especially in region or area where all the applicable resource of how oil is formed exist such as in places like "Cite Soleil and Martissan" so I heard. There were even news or words on the street of what the US American Soldiers have done in Cite Soleil where they sought out and conducted surveys that indicates there were indeed petroleum in the area and after they had done with the survey they marked and sealed those specific pinpointed location with signs that say: "US GOVERNMENT PROPERTY." during the time this provisory President had replaced Aristide after the Modern Day Haitian - Bush Backed Coup D'Etat.
Whether or not this story being true or not, also, you have to look at the fact that even if Haiti did have gold or perhaps other crude natural resources (which I am not ruling that possibility totally out) Haiti would not have the means to get to them since it would be costly to hire and provide adequate teams of expert which Haiti does not have and would have to get foreign expert who would never represent Haiti's true interests and those expert perhaps would not even tell Haiti how much of it that it truly has so that they can profit and dupe the Haiti thus the Haitian Government and people. So the question I ask you is this:
Since and given that no existing team of experts had actually examine, explore nor extracted physical evidence that has shown as whether or not if Haiti has those Natural resources in question or not that even theories alone are not sufficient... Thus, how do you yourself know for sure and certain that Haiti does not have them?

Haitian Justice Minister Henry Marge Dorleans Accuses U.S.A Of Seeking To Undermine Haiti's Sovereignty.
Written In September 2006
Haitian Justice Minister Henry Marge Dorleans said on Tuesday that a U.S. embassy advert offering rewards for information about heavy weapons in private hands in the island nation, was a deliberate move to undermine Haitian sovereignty.
"This is an attempt to bring Haiti's justice system under the authority of the United States," Henry Marge Dorleans was quoted as saying by the daily newspaper Caribbean Net News, according to reports reaching here on Tuesday.
"If you have any information about people hiding heavy weapons, please contact the United States embassy in Port-au-Prince. Calls will be treated as confidential and will be handsomely rewarded," said the U.S. embassy advertisement, currently running on Haitian radio in the local Creole language.
The incident came as the country's National Commission is trying to recover an estimated 200,000 weapons, which are scattered all over the place and believed to be in private hands. The government body, along with seven non-governmental organizations, is negotiating with street gangs in Haiti's roughest neighborhoods.
"All attempts to deliver the apparatus of justice into the hands of foreigners deserves an urgent intervention from our nation's authorities," said Joseph Lambert, president of Haiti's Senate.
The U.S. embassy sources have formally denied any attempt to undermine Haiti's sovereignty.
