To be fair to the Commandant, I don't remember him saying that we were over reacting. However, he did say let's not over estimate the level of the threat. He also did not understand why the academic/engineering wing were not resigning like the flying wing! Well most of us have our families out here and the others do not. Also we tend to be a bit younger and have more options.
We do have some sort of APC outside the compound now, but I don't know how long it will stay with us.
The number of IP's who have resigned I think will go up with this coming Ramadan. All depends on if it is safe and if the families are back.
