I am showing my SUPPORT for the American Government... and fullfilling my responsibilities as an American Soldier, to remain neutral in this conflict, and when called upon to provide a safe, secure, environment for ALL the people of Bosnia! May FREEDOM prevail in Bosnia as it does in America..

As an American I reject any division based solely on race or ethnicity.. I know that is hard for the people from other nations to understand... As an American I stand for Freedom first,,, My first OATH of Alligience, as a Soldier, is to the CONSTITUTION of the United States, NOT any person, but rather a set of IDEALS.. this idea is incomprehensible to some soldiers who pledge their OATH of Alligience to a PERSON.. and subject themselves to any whim or idea of that person (as an idividual, thwarting the will of the people he/she represents)... I swore to obey the Orders of the President of the United States, and at the time I was first sent to Bosnia in 1996 it was President Clinton.. I did not compromise my oath just because I did not particulary care for President.. I could only hope and pray that congress would have fullfiled their duty to remove him from office, (Which it failed to do) and I deeply regret.
