How many troops did the Serbs march against Slovenia?
One helicopter, piloted by a Slovene.
Some war effort, huh? LOL!
Slovenia seceded illegally. Their mutinous reserves took over Yugoslav border crossings and the federal government (at that time headed by a Croat) simply sent troops to secure the country's borders, which is the right of every sovereign state on this earth. Exercising their sworn duty to protect the country from enemies, foreign and domestic (sounds familiar, doesn't it?), and fulfilling a lawful order to secure the borders, the federal units were brutally ambushed by Slovene territorial units. How did this turn out to be an act of "aggression" against Slovenia is beyond me! It becomes an "act of war" only in the twisted minds of some habitual anti-Serbian bigots on this forum. It is no different than the Union troops marching into Confederate territory after the (illegitimate) secessions by the Southern States.
Former Lib, you are exhibit A for the author's thesis on Serbian illusions.
Read this:
"After the communist dictator Josip Tito died in 1980, longstanding ethnic, religious, and economic tensions within Yugoslavia became more apparent. Although the country comprised six republics and two self-governing provinces, Serbia (the largest republic) dominated the federal government and army. Resentment of Serbia grew when Slobodan Milosevic (1941-), who eventually became president of the republic, began stirring up Serbian nationalism in 1987. The prosperous republics of Slovenia and Croatia, no longer willing to subsidize less-developed Serbia or to accpet a centralized federal government under its control, declared their independence from Yugoslavia on June 25, 1991. After Slovenia took control of its border crossings, its defense forces blockaded federal army bases in the republic and captured about 2,300 federal soldiers. Meanwhile, the federal army moved tanks in and bombed the airport at ljubljana, the Slovenian capital, and some border posts. Fighting continued until mid-July 1991 by which time several dozen people had been killed. The war ended when the federal army withdrew its tanks and troops to concentrate on the neighboring secessionist republic of Croatia"
