How many troops did the Serbs march against Slovenia?

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.

Well, Kosta, the Slovenes disagree--that was what the war was about.

My point was that--no matter how wonderful the Serbs think Serbia is--those who know the Serbs best all wanted out--the Slovenes, the Croats, the Bosnians, the Macedonians, the Kosovars, and now apparently even the Montenegrins.
