Articles 4 of law 857 of 2003, " by which new laws are dictated to regulate the retirement of officers and enlisted military personnel of the Armed Forces and the National Police and the 1791 Decree of the year 2000 is modified with respect to this matter and by which other dispositions are dictated" and the 104 Decree of the year 2000, " by which it is modified the Decree that regulates the norms with respect to officers and enlisted military personnel of the Armed Forces". These articles regulate with respect to the discretionary retirement of the officers and enlisted military personnel of the Armed Forces and the National Police for reasons of the service.
From the Constitutional perspective and the spirit of the Legislator, the discretionary power granted explicitly by law to administrative authorities for specific situations, has been blurred by the high commands of the military, the National Police and the National Government. These individuals and institutions, instead of advancing the disciplinary, penal or administrative investigations, when they receive any information, anonymous documentation or journalistic publications that deals with their subordinates, they choose to apply the discretionary power, in the majority of cases with serious consequences to the Public Treasure, producing in this case an increment of lawsuits against the Nation – Department of Defense, Army, Navy, Air Force and National Police.
