you got that right

Muslims, the left and the media

it was karl marx who said that the way to spread their view is not by force all the time the people have to get themselves into positions ofm power like teachers etc so they can pass their views on to the young.

seems like they are still doing it

I saw a sticker saying clinton lied no one died

Now lets get this right, first they said he never lied but now they say he did but no one died, well did they forget the ethnice cleansing, they forgot the serbs who died while fighting the radical muslims are supposedly enemies, they forget he Iraqi’s, sudenese, rangers, and many more around the world

seem slibs have a very one way mind and a thick one at that too

Thank you for understanding. Serbia is not 5% like being portrayed in the mass media. We consider American people our friends throughout the history! We know that bigger interest is at stake. We only blame your administration!

For those who didn’t know, the Operation Halyard in 1944 was the Largest Rescue in Airforce History!

Quotation: Operation Halyard is a little known episode which took place over about a week in June 1944 from Pranjani, Serbia. At that time, Serbian Chetnik guerrillas, led by Gen. Draza Mihailovich, with the assistence of American OSS liasion officers on the ground, organized and carried out the largest rescue of downed American airmen in U.S. Air Force history.

According to official accounts, more than 500 U.S., British and a handful of Canadian airmen were rescued after being gathered from all parts of Serbia for the operation.

I had the honor of meeting the late Maj. Richard Felman, who was one of the young rescued airmen, and who to his dying day, felt he had a debt of honor that remained upaid to his Serb rescuers.

What I find astounding, is that such an amazing episode of courage and sacrifice has received such scant attention in the U.S., and especially from the U.S Air Force in particular.

I’ve researched a lot of documents and gathered pictures of U.S. officers, such as Col. Robert McDowell, who were on the ground in Serbia working hand-in-hand with their Serb Chetnik allies. Quite remarkable.

In 1946, Harry Truman posthumously awarded Gen. Mihailovich the Legion of Merit medal - the highest decoration available to a non-U.S citizen for his “material contribution to the final Allied victory in Europe...”

Who wants to know more, I think that there’s a book called “The forgotten 500”.
