When he was only 14, Salkanovic spent a year in the Bosnian army, fighting Serbian forces that surrounded his hometown of Sarajevo for 3½ years between 1992 and 1995.

Shows that boys as young as 14 were fighting, and EAGERLY: “But I kept volunteering, I was one of those guys who wanted to see some action.” “It was World War I-style fighting, trench warfare,” he said. “There were a lot of mortar attacks, howitzers and tanks — a lot of armor got involved. Both sides took a lot of casualties from the minefields and snipers.”

So much for Serbs only going after unarmed civilians. And all Bosnian men being helpless POWs slaughtered. Are the minefield and battle deaths counted as people in "mass graves"?

After about a year of fighting, Salkanovic’s father was wounded in battle.

Battle injury and fighting for a year. Again, so much for Serbs only fighting unarmed civilians.

Get over it Joan. Nobody said the Serbs only went after unarmed civilians, it was the fact that they didn't discriminate between combatants and those unarmed civilians that got them into trouble, strawman arguments like yours notwithstanding.

Unfortunately in this kind of warfare setting, everyone was fair game. Everyone at one time fought, from early teens to elderly. The muslims employed female snipers from Czech Republic on many occassions, the muslims even showed grannies how to use hand grenades.

So no, there was no immunity which explains WHY both sides shot AT EVERYONE. Because, at one time or another, that person had OR WILL pick up a weapon and will try to kill you. Better get them now then later. ahem, pre-emptive strike is what it's called now.
