The Philippine military said Monday that a U.N. peacekeeping commander in the Golan Heights should be investigated for seeking only surrender options.
When rebels challenged UN Camps at a crossing on the Syrian-Israeli, Golan Heights Wednesday. Al Qaida-Nusra, demanded the Fijian and Filipino peacekeepers surrender. The commander of U N Grovel Force, or UNGF, directed demand compliance. Fijian peacekeepers surrendered their weapons, munitions , supplies and pride, are now held by the Nusra. Flip Gen. Catapang, said "nuts", and instead, initiated a daring run for all you are worth, ending the sorta tense, standoff thing.
The Philippines has given notice it will not deploy a new contingent when its current peacekeeping force ends its already-extended stint. Gen.Catapang, has asked a Filipino officer playing a key role in UNGF to resign. A number of countries have withdrawn their troops from force due to....

The UN once again capitulates to Terrorists.
even by betraying their own forces.
Never forget the UN in Africa when their own people called for help and got none untill days later when they were all found DEAD.
You know...Like Hillary and Bengazi.
I’d go running too.
Gee. You mean the soldiers want to keep their heads?
And (I ask facetiously) what is the point of the UN soldier force if their only option is surrender?
UN rifle for sale: never fired, only dropped once.
Flip Gen. Catapang is a smart, and balzy commander.
Traditional after (Korea) action, UN on the other hand, is like current after (0b1 US) action, core corrupt.

Gen Catapung is a hero. What sort of ridiculous order is this? Telling the peacekeepers to surrender to terrorists, so that instead of 40 hostages, we have 80 hostages
A cool head is often better than none.

Pick up “Red Eye” (radio)on WLS am 890. ABC news carried the report about Figi troops but the whores had not a word about the “Philipine action or their refusal to obey the UN surrender order.
Who is this UN commander and what country is he from?
This is so poorly written.
Lt Gen Iqbal Singh Singha, I think he is a Sikh from India.
It's all in the name. The Filipinos should have merely looked up "grovel" in the dictionary before serving under the UN flag.
grovel - lie or move abjectly on the ground with one's face downward.
