The Real Glory

The American army men are in Mindanao (not Manila), the second largest island in the Philippines and in the south-east. They are training the Filipinos to protect the native population from ruthless Moslem suicide bombers. Mindanao had and still does have a large active Moslem activists, who where still bombing in the 1970's. When I was there in 1976 and visiting MIT (Mindanao Institute of Technology) they set off a bomb on campus and killed several students.
