I believe it was Emilaino Zapata who said something like “I rather die on my feet than live upon my knees.”
That guy looks pissed and rightly so.
One of the hardest things I’ve ever done is telling my son not to let them take him alive if the base is over run. This was before he left for Afghanistan. Hard thing for a mother to do.
So who was the Muslim-supporting UN “Commander” who ordered them to lay down their arms? Why is it we don’t have this idiot’s name??? It’s amazing how the left works these things totally in reverse against their enemies. If this was a doctor refusing an abortion, that doctor’s name would be in the news 24/7 for a week, and they’d mobilize their mob goons to surround that doctor’s house.
Still more utterly self-destructive policy from the idiots at the UN.
What are the odds the Fijians will be murdered by ISIS ?
RE: Gen. Catapang is a hero.
As someone who spent time in the Philippines, I find the name of the general to be quite fitting for his character.
The word “tapang” in Ca-tapang, means BRAVE in Tagalog.
Well we know at least 1 group of men who have not had their balls removed yet. Hoo-ah!
Every blue helmet I see would catch a round.
Unless you want to be Thursday nights “entertainment” and have your head sawed off, surrender is not a good option.
Surrendering to the likes of ISIS would only mean a terrible death. Thus, one might as well fight to the bitter end, even if it means fighting with one’s bare hands.
IS already has Fijian hostages captured in the Golan Heights buffer zone according to the story.
Well, the more hostages they have, the much easier it will be to retake the Golan Heights from Israel. The world would shriek with antisemitism if the Israelis defended themselves and in the process killed UN hostages.
Better to just have the Golan Heights returned to Syria (IS), wouldn't you think? The UN (US Left, Marxists, communists, etc and enough redundancy) can't get Israel to return the Golan Heights any other way, so why not use this sinister “tactic”?
Makes one wonder why the UN issues weapons to its “peacekeepers.”
The UN does no such thing. Member countries bring their own equipment, including weapons. It's a rent a cop operation and many third world countries fund their military through these UN missions.
