You have a choice to choose between the Bosnian Serb or the Bosnian Muslim as your partner on a hot patrol against non-identified tangos, who do you choose?

You have not provided sufficient background information concerning my 2 choices.. I would need to know more background, training, experience, etc of the 2.., as an NCO another huge factor in determining who I select for the "hot patrol" is attitude, and ability to make sound and timely decisions under stressful circumstances.... to make the decision based solely on thier ethnicity would be the dumbest thing I could do..

BS! You are refusing to answer the question. Vast majority of the US-IFOR would prefer the Serb over the Muslim, as obviously, you are a quantifying yourself in becoming a protege of a Wesley Clark-style officer, an officer in name only, not a leader.

You are a real work, a hoplite in the making, are you his understudy? I will tell you the answer I have recieved, "I'd rather work with the Serbs then Muslims, they are more reliable and trustworthy when dealing with". Not word for word, but the two keywords used frequently were reliable and trustworthy and rather work with the Serbs.

Were you ever there or were you assigned Bn Guard or Base Security Guard the whole time? Geesh!
