This is old, tried and true knowledge. The terrorists have forfeited their lives. They KNEW that going in.
WHAT a selfish thing they did to their families and friends.
Gen. Catapang is a hero.
Good for them is right. The UN displays the typically internationalist, bureaucratic, and ultimately deadly, mindset of “don’t fight under any and all conditions.” Just lay down your weapons and we’ll talk it over. Somehow, it doesn’t enter their minds that if you lay down your weapons, the other side will kill you, take you hostage or enslave you. The Filipinos aren’t that stupid, thankfully.
With the ISIS psychopaths and their history, better to go down fighting.
With these ISIS people, it’s better to try to take some with you, never surrender. This demonstrates the UN is in cahoots with these people.
If I was the Phils, I would say screw you and bring the troops back home.
Surrender to terrorists is about the dumbest thing ever.
Well, I guess that's a nice way of putting it.
The Philippine government regularly fights the Muzzies in the southern part of their country on the island of Mindanao. These soldiers know that surrendering to them is an insane choice.
They would all be dead if they listened to the UN.
The UN is useless and I certainly don’t trust their motives.
Catapang means, roughly “the brave”.
That’s just his name. Typical descriptive Tagalog name.
Some Filipinos retain the old native names, generally the descendants of landowners that actually had recorded names. The rest have Spanish names that were assigned by decree.
Would this indicate that if UN Peacekeepers were to ever be deployed in the US, they would be ordered to surrender to American *revolutionaries*?
Personally, I have always thought that any UN forces deployed here would either refuse to leave their HQ or surrender if challenged.
He seems to have lived up to the moniker.
Hey, you know, if we could get ISIS to fight their way up Pennsylvania, maybe Obama would symbolically surrender to them.
I totally agree...it's not often now-a-days to have someone SEE the right path and TAKE it... Everyone seems full of fear of the left.. Political correctness is killing us....
The UN leadership is almost as bad as Obama if they are ordering their soldiers to surrender and face execution. Only a moron would fight for the UN. I’m proud of the Filipino officers who took care of their men despite stupid/evil orders. I’ll bet loyalty just went up in those units.
Surrender to Jihadists that are beheading non Muslims? Why not just tell them to commit suicide?
Saying what else I believe would get my post pulled.
Hurrah Gen. Catapang! You are wise!
More likely, any UN forces deployed here would be put down where they stand. Invasion by a foreign force is war.
