Number of borders between the SAM site that downed Cpt O'Grady and your vacation spot: 0

Number of months between June 1995 and July 1995: 0

I was in the region the day of and saw with my own eyes what happened.

Your words, kid.

Lemme guess - the 90 odd miles between Banja Luka and Srebrenica qualify to put it in a different region, and the 5 weeks between the O'Grady rescue and your visit constitute a different time frame.

Here's a news flash for you - you were vacationing amongst enemy combatants.

Perhaps you saw with your own eyes who fired the SAM at our F-16s over Srebrenica on July 11th.

It took fifteen minutes for the Forward Air Controller to guide new NATO planes in. The Americans were to bomb the Serb artillery positions on the western edge of of the enclave that had shelled OP Mike and OP November. But the pilots also had difficulty finding the targets. As the U.S. planes prowled the area, a shoulder-fired antiaircraft missile streaked towards one of them. The missile missed by a wide margin, but the planes disappeared anyway.
Endgame, Rohde, P 162

One wonders if you would have commiserated with him on his miss and wished him better luck next time.

The Serbs were/are not my enemies and June is not July and 90 miles is a long drive and in any case what were American planes doing flying over another country's air space? A country that never fired a shot at an American other than in self defense. I plan to vacation in the Balkans again. Zero dollars wil be spent on the Muslim side.
