The damn mefloquine.... Halfway through my mission in Rwanda, I wrote to NDHQ and said that mefloquine was causing me significant problems with sleep, being conscious, and stomach problems, and I said I had to get off of it because it wasn't helping.
I was told very clearly that if I didn't take mefloquine I'd be court-martialled if I got malaria.
That stuff is junk. It was a factor, but not an overriding one that would bring a unit to do some of the actions that were taken by subordinate commanders who were out of control.
