I was part of Clinton's grand Albanian adventure and, at the time, I didn't care, I followed orders. I would have happily killed Serbs. In fact, I am fairly certain I did so, although it is hard to know sometimes.

That said, it was badly run from the top, and so we were largely ineffective.

And I am rather happy about that now.

And rather angry at Clinton.

"I was part of Clinton's grand Albanian adventure..."

Nothing personal, I understand chain of command.

But the war against Yugoslavia (round one in the war for the establishment of a muslim europe)is about the instance in history that I'd have supported mass desertions and outright mutiny.

I've noted here before that I cut off communications with friends (retired USA) who went over as advisers or consultants in an assault on people who had been our allies at a time when being our allies was a death sentence.

(I've also noted that I have known - known, not just met - some of the bomber crewmen that were saved by Yugoslav partisans)

I was in Kosovo for five years......99-04....for your post, my hat is off, back on and a salute. I saw it first hand and had many U.S. officer drop in for coffee saying, "We bombed the wrong side"....which working for OSCE made me cringe a little, as I was basically neutral. However, the treatment was overtly, one sided.
