Daily Monitor Saturday May 08 2021 Summary As a service rank, field marshal is slowly becoming obsolete. It is now associated with military and political leadership with fascistic attitudes. Advertisement The first time I heard of the title or rank of field marshal was when Uganda’s famous military ruler Idi Amin Dada declared himself as field marshal of the Uganda Army. He ruled Uganda from January 1971 to April 1979. When we grew up, we learnt that another Ugandan named John Okello had in the early 1960s designated himself field marshal in Zanzibar (and abolished the monarchy).  Do I support the idea of making (mark my word: not promoting) Mr Museveni a field marshal? My answer: Does Mr Museveni need to be a field marshal?
