#1 The real tragedy here is that the soldiers will probably die in that hospital unless the US troops insist they get moved to Zamboanga. The military hospital emergency room is called The hall of heros. The floor is slanted a few degrees with a six inch trench in the middle. It is a blood trench of WWI era. Right next door to the military hospital is a civilian one that was recently rebuilt and furnished by the US ambassador Richardonne, PACOM, USAID, Canada, and others. The Phil military wont allow the civ hospital to treat the military, the hospital commanders ego would rather see the troops die than ask for help from a muzzie hospital. The helicopter ride is about an hour to Zamboanga and they dont like to make a special flight for their soldiers. The US usually steps in and requests to be allowed to evac the troops and the US docs treat them.
