Los Banos part – 1

“I doubt that any airborne unit in the world will ever be able to rival the Los Baños prison raid.  It is the textbook airborne operation for all ages and all armies.”

____ General Colin Powell, US Army, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 25 February 1993

 

G-2 Henry Muller was required to collect any and all intelligence that he could, from anywhere he could find it – that was his job.  A grower from Mindanao who had recently traveled south from Manila told him how awful the prisoners of Los Baños were doing.  This was the first Muller had heard of the camp.  It turned out Gen. Swing, commander of the 11th Airborne Division also had not been told about it.  They presumed that being it was outside the area of their orders from MacArthur to be the reason of this lack of info. …

The Chambers of Change

From Behind the Pen

Change. We talk about it all the time, but we fizzle out at some point, and then ask, “What’s the point?” Do we abandon change when it doesn’t come at the exact time when we want it? The point is, that each of us is here for a purpose, not to just suck up oxygen and plop down to exist in the same spot on a different day.

There are many variables that create change, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yet what we do in spite of those variables depends on our mindset and our actions. You can’t expect to get into a vehicle and have it get you to a different destination if you don’t have gas in it and crank the darn thing up. Explore something new and different today. If you do, then you’ve made a change today, no matter how…

Belgium introduces mandatory monkeypox quarantine as global cases rise

Belgium has become the first country to introduce a mandatory 21-day quarantine for monkeypox patients as cases of the disease — typically endemic to Africa — spread across the globe.

Health authorities in Belgium introduced the measures Friday after the country reported its third case of the virus. As of Monday, the country has recorded four local cases; confirmed global infections currently number around 100.

Belgium’s compulsory measures apply only to patients with a confirmed infection. Close contacts are not required to self-isolate but are encouraged to remain vigilant, especially if in contact with vulnerable people.

“Infected persons will have to go into contact isolation until the injuries have healed (they will receive concrete instructions about this from the treating doctor),” a version of the government announcement translated from Dutch said.
