    Besieged by Syrian rebels, Filipino UN peacekeepers vow to fight

    What is the point of them being there and being armed, if they can't fight back ?

    The UN is a damned (expensive) joke.

    Time for the UN to pull out...unless they are permitted to impose discipline on this rabble, which of course is not going to happen.

    They should be sent to the Russian\Ukraine border before Putin sends his 'peacekeepers' in

    Filipino force defied UN commander in Golan crisis


    The Philippine military said Monday that a U.N. peacekeeping commander in the Golan Heights should be investigated for allegedly asking Filipino troops to surrender to Syrian rebels who had attacked and surrounded their camp.

    Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang said he advised the 40 Filipino peacekeepers not to lay down their arms, and they defied the U.N. peacekeeping commander's order. Instead, they staged a daring escape from the Golan camp over the weekend, ending a tense, dayslong standoff.
