Sounds like India sends its defectives to the UN.

[Prospero]

It’s “Opposite World,” once again.

If there was any point to a UN buffer force, this guy would be cashiered in disgrace.

[BenLurkin]

My admiration for the Filipinos is immense. God bless them!

[reefdiver]

This is an example of why American troops are only commanded by an American CO.

[Rockpile]

What a snivelling gutless cur this general is. Notice that his yellow ass is not in any danger.

Why doesn’t General Singha and the UN leaders offer themselves as captives in place of the Fijians?

Corporal 'Stitch' Jones: "Hey, didn't you hear Lieutenant Ring? Major Powers Lt Gen Singha wants us to die in a loud, grotesque, military manner."

Nothing wrong with the Filipino troops...the trouble is the UN command structure.

[Rummyfan]

Good for the Filipinos! They should lay down their arms and be taken prisoner by those animals? I don’t think so!

[Rashputin]

The guy running his mouth was probably paid in advance by ISIS for forty Christian captives.

The mass be-hading of forty Filipino Catholics would impress and help recruit Muzzie animals from in Philippines and Indonesia.

"At one point during the crisis, the rebels relayed to the UNDOF commander that the Filipino troops would be allowed to go if they lay down their arms and leave their encampment with a white flag." here

So they are cowards for not surrendering??? Sounds to me more like they weren't born yesterday. Would General Singha give that order to a Gurkha? Probably be the last order he ever gave.

[GeronL]

being taken prisoner by blood-thirsty savages is “a delicate ceasefire”??

[melsec]

“An act of cowardice” that is an extreme thing to say and one would not want to use it unadvisedly - what a disgraceful thing to say,unilaterally, about another country’s troops without there being some sort of formal investigation into the matter.

On another point how dare they not die for the glorious UN?(sarcasm).

[gasport]

How did a Sikh get a muzzie name?

The UN should not have ANY ‘leadership authority’ over the military forces of the various countries who choose to participate in the UN’s ridiculous endeavors.

Take the USA out of the UN and get the UN out of the USA!!!

[GrootheWanderer]

Surrendering didn’t work out well for Belgian peacekeepers in Rwanda. After that, I’m surprised the UN would ever allow it again, much less order it.

[Mister Da]

I can just see the Filipinos laughing, & laughing.

Hahahahohohohehehe.

Whada maroon.

Instead of sending our troops to Ebola land send the UN.

UN denies ordering Phl soldiers to surrender arms UNITED NATIONS – The UN peacekeeping chief strongly denied on Wednesday allegations from the Philippines’ armed forces chief that Filipino peacekeepers in the Golan Heights were ordered to surrender their weapons to Islamist militants who had trapped them. Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief Gen. Gregorio Catapang said his soldiers defended themselves against Islamist rebels last weekend in defiance of an order from their UN force commander to surrender their weapons, a move that would be highly controversial in the six-nation, blue-helmeted force. The UN’s undersecretary-general for peacekeeping, Herve Ladsous, denied that any such order was given .....Asked what order was given to the Filipinos, Ladsous replied, “Never to hand over weapons.” The order was simply “not to shoot,” he said. One UN official told Reuters that no force commander would order his troops to hand over weapons to rebels. If that were to happen, the official said, the commander would “be out of a job” since countries that supply weapons and material to the force would be reluctant to re-supply the mission. ....Several Security Council diplomats said the issue of what orders might have been given was discussed on Wednesday in a closed-door meeting of the 15-nation body. In that meeting, Ladsous expressed full support for Singha, diplomats who were present told Reuters. Ladsous later told reporters that Singha had “exercised good sound judgment all along” during the crisis http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2014/09/05/1365566/un-denies-ordering-phl-soldiers-surrender-arms
