I should clarify for those who aren’t up on the Balkans, that I was talking specifically about the Bosnian war.
Thanks for the info.!

BTW, to completely discredit Abdic in the eyes of any outsider, the ICTY convicted him of war crimes against (Izetbegovic's) Muslims in 2002. Because Abdic was also a Muslim, they couldn't twist that into "genocide" in the way that they had for many of the Serbs convicted.
It's funny, if you read the Wiki entry on Abdic that tries to paint him in the most disparaging light, it's so filled with holes that you could drive a truck through them. Truth is that Abdic wasn't "a really nice guy"; he was a little crooked which one had to be to run a successful capitalistic business in what was then a communist country, but nor was he a stark raving Islamist like Izetbegovic. Unlike Izetbegovic, Osama bin Laden was not Abdic's friend and supporter.

“Exactly. My brother and I discuss this periodically (more in the last 2 years). It takes only a moment to die in the battle while taking down a few of the animals. Get caught by a barbarian, well...let’s just say it’s highly doubtful that ‘they’ will follow the geneva convention.”
Yea, the way I see it, if I can get the drop, I’ll take out (hopefully) 3 of them, and that will 3 less for the survivors to have to deal with.
It’s really tragic that we have been forced into the position of even considering this scenario however; as Nathan Hale said: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
I resent the hell out of this current situation and the fact that I have to now consider how I will respond. For 2 years I have been reflecting on most every aspect of how this happened to our country and have come to a myriad of conclusions and reasons. The main one (at least the way I see it) is that the so called conservatives that I voted for and trusted did not guard the gate but instead, pillaged the nation right along with the liberal democrat fringe.

Yes and no. It is always good think about contingencies. The odds of actually having to go down fighting in such a scenario is quite small still. It’s just better to be ready.
