		The military currently requires personnel deploying to high-risk regions like Korea and Iraq to receive the controversial six-shot treatment.
		However, the military uses it not just to prevent anthrax infections of the skin but pulmonary or inhalation anthrax -- a use for which the vaccine has never been proven effective.

		The military in Guinea-Bissau has called for calm after the deposed former leader and controversial presidential candidate Kumba Yalla occupied the presidential palace for several hours before being forced out.
		"Kumba Yalla seems to represent the Balante ethnic group which is the largest and the most significant in the military albeit it's still very much a minority within the country as a whole, so I think he has his pool of support but I think overall it's far from the majority," he noted.
		Yalla has previously said the election should be canceled because he still has 18 months left of his time in power when he was ousted in the coup in 2003.

		In the light of then-recent experiences among the new states of Africa and Asia, and considering the comparatively shallow roots of national political sentiment in Papua New Guinea, particular concerns were expressed about the possibility that, in a post-independence Papua New Guinea state, democracy would yield to either a one-party state or a military takeover.
