Oh, I get you now! I was re-reading your second post. So, in your opinion, Krajina Serbs left their posts, disobayed their orders, so it's ok to be treated in harrd manner.
1st- croats broke trough bosnian serb army, and trough bosnia they had hit krajina serbs in the back. Bosnian serb army was heavily harmed by sanctions imposed by Milosevic.
2nd - Krajina serbs from dalmatia received orders to pull back, so they don't end up being encircled.krajina was defended by around 40 000 people, and croats had almost 200 000 people in operation Storm.
3rd - operatives of Milosevic UDBA, trough gen. Mile Mrksic, secured Krajina surface-to-surface missiles not to be pointed at zagreb.
4th - Even if we say, for the sake of conversation, that Krajina serbs left their front lines like cowards (!), who is arkan to persecute them for that? Was he some state official? What state? Serbia? Krajina was not part of serbia, and arkan was no army judge in serbia.
5th - Why did krajina serbs best soldiers find jobs within best units of Serbia, after 1995 collapse? So called "red berets" , now dismembered, were composed mostly of Krajina and bosnia serbs. They were first in Kosovo.
Please, don't be so idealist when serbian struggle is in question. So much corruption, stupidity, immorality was going on behind our lines...
Oh, I wasn't thinking about that possibilty. My oncle was Arkan's guide in Dalmatia. I know his neese (spell?)

Im familiar with the Slobo orders too. I know very well all the backdoor dirt as well. Aleksic unit counterattacked muslim first line units, then Mladic orders arty to rain down on Aleksic's boys. Reason? Oh, Mladic did not like their appearance as they were under his command and control. Gen Mladic felt they were to have the VRS profesional appearance etc...
Uhhh, I know sht you don't know.

VRS was holding til they could hold out while they were running low on supplies/logistics. Does not matter about the numerical advantage, the VRS were always able to counter those numbers with varying degrees of success.
Arkan or any Serb should never be required to answer to any official. They, in the end, answer to Serbia.
I know about the order to withdraw ALL things Serbian from Knin region before the HVO arrived.
The Serbian Guard arrived and stopped dead the Federation in their tracks and pushed back their gains, while the regulars drew further back. After securing and holding with regulars reinforcing their lines they established, Arkan began placing his units lives at risk in order to allow every Serb civilian to escape the advancing Federation units. Once every known civilian passed by, they continued onward til they were ordered back.
