If You have known how much blood has been spilled in the above mentioned
states, Especially in Croatia and Kosovo, would it still be "pathetic" for
You?


Not nearly so much blood as was spilled by Saddam Hussein's regime.

And it's not Yugoslavia that's pathetic, but the European Union that
couldn't rescue the situation without the American Air Force to do all
the heavy lifting.

Plonk!

Which is dwafed in timeframe by the 1 million people killed in 100 days in
Rwanda (Africa) as an act of genocide in 1995 (?) while UN, EU and USA
looked the other way as it was only an African problem (1 US life = 10 other
white lives = 1000+ African lives).

Gosh, did you count them yourself?

I'm sure that many more people than 1 million died in Saddam's
adventures, though to be sure he may have been more leisurely about
them.

I for one would certainly prefer to see 10 or 1,000 lives lost, rather
than one American life. Not everyone feels this way. More of the Good
People would rather lose American lives to any other--they know
perfectly well that their own sons won't be in danger--but only if the
U.S. had absolutely nothing to gain from the encounter.

Which war would you omit--Rwanda or Yugoslavia? Would you have fought
both, or none?

Having made that decision, put Iraq into the mixer. Would you have
fought three, two, one, or none?

Now add Afghanistan.

So, if I understood correctly the person is not an American, his/hers loss
of life is "pathetic".

What kind of -THING- are you? Do You wear a swastika over an American flag?

I wish my American friend (SpecOps) was here to count your teeth, because he
respects -EACH- human life, unlike you.

Thanks God for someone sane in this discussion... I should have bet it would
be a "combat vet".

Also, we have all of the technology that you have and we have many things
that are not and will never be available to you.


But what will you do if Romania invades? Call out the Dutch marching
band?


Could you please explain what you mean by `the Dutch marching band'?

Ralph Savelsberg


Of course I jest. We know what you'll do: call on the United States to
do all the heavy lifting, just as you did when you wanted to put down
Serbia.

Serbia! One small piece of the former Yugoslavia.

Yugoslavia!

Pathetic.

The most impressive and best-financed part of the Dutch military.
(Actually, there are many of these bands. They are proof against any
effort to transfer the money to combat arms.)
