While it would be easy to snipe at the "hotel homing instinct", the straight fact is that the decision was correct one if measured in terms of sustaining the capability. The AAC Regt was apparently asked if it also wanted to decamp, and the CO said that his people would stay and the Regt suffered accordingly. The medics will tell you that the rate of disease and non-battle injuries (in this case D&V) skyrocketed amongst those that stayed at Ploce by comparison with the hotel fraternity - hardly surprising given that the whole camp had been contaminated with raw sewage and who know's what from the landfill area.
