You betray a massive ignorance of history Mikey if you are unaware that your uncles serving with allied forces during WWII were serving against the Croatian Ustashi/Nazi SS forces composed primarily of Roman Catholics...many of them RC priests in SS uniform. The primary duty of these courageous warriors was the wholesale torture and murder of Christian Serbs and Jews. So out of control, brutal and inhumane were they in their treatment of prisoners that even the German SS protested.
The Serbs fought a valient geurrilla resistance against Nazi forces during WWII, rescuing hundreds of downed allied flyers and smuggling them back to allied lines. And losing something like one half their adult male population in that conflict. They were rewarded for their loyalty and valor to the allied cause by being CONDEMNED by Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin to 50 years of slavery under the Croatian communist Marshall Tito. Following the collapse of the SU and eastern european communist regimes, They ELECTED Milosevic their head of state a position he held until the clinton war of islamofascist expansion in eastern europe.
That's why FreeRepublic is my favorite site, there's always somebody who knows something about anything. Thanks for the history lesson, even if it meant swallowing my Croation pride a bit. Perhaps that's why my grandfather's family left, sounds like it's never been a great place to live. God Bless America.
