Tamer Badr

Tamer Badr

Personal

There are those who are surprised that a person like me, with the belief in jihad and this thinking, continued in the army until he reached the rank of major. To these I say:

1- I was not stupid enough to tell the army leadership before I joined the military or after I became an officer that I was trying to wage jihad in Chechnya, Bosnia or other Islamic countries, but this belief remained inside me and I did not reveal it to anyone so that I would not be accused of extremism.
2- The books on Islamic conquests that I wrote before the revolution were not known to the army, and their writing and publication were secret without me mentioning in my books that I was an officer. I also shortened my name from Tamer Mohamed Samir Mohamed Badr to Tamer Badr only so that they would not be able to reach me.
3- It is possible that I was blacklisted by the intelligence because I used to pray the obligatory prayers in the mosque or because my wife and I refused for her to take off her hijab so that she and I could travel as a military attaché. Therefore, I expected that the army would not leave me alone until I reached the rank of brigadier general. My early discharge from the army was expected for me when I reached the rank of captain, whether I asked for it or not.
4- When I joined the military, I joined when I was young and I had a goal, which was to be martyred in a war that I thought was close between us and the Zionist entity. Therefore, I chose to be in the infantry so that I would be at the forefront of this war. When I remained in the army and saw the state we had reached, I added to this goal, which was to reach a rank that would allow me to change the current situation if I did not achieve martyrdom in war.
5- During the January 25 revolution, I had hope for change, but it quickly faded. That's why I always participated in the million-man marches secretly. God knows if I was being watched or not, until I announced my joining the revolution during the Mohamed Mahmoud events. Then I became like an open book to the intelligence services, and they knew everything about me from childhood until the present time.
6- After June 30, I had no doubt that I would not be able to continue in the army, so I requested early retirement. Despite my love for the army, I could not continue under these circumstances.
7- Some people often ask, "Are there officers like me in the army?" I tell them, "I know many officers who are far better than me, who are well-mannered and religiously committed. Some of them have been tempted and changed, while others remain steadfast in their principles. Certainly, those who remain steadfast in their principles are unable to express that for reasons I mentioned previously."
8- When someone asks if I regret joining the Military College from the beginning, I tell them I don't regret it. I learned in the army things I wouldn't have learned anywhere else.
9- When someone asks if I regret requesting to leave the army, I tell him I don't regret it. I joined the army for a specific purpose. If this purpose is exploited for personal gain or purposes, then I have no need to continue in the army.
10- In the end, I do not hate the army, but I hate using it and exploiting it for personal interests and goals.
