American ex-general claims Srebrenica fell partially due to homosexual

[Occhidiangela]

I find an insult to my country who did it's damn best to help quite important actually. In addition to that I think that equal rights and freedom from discrimination for homosexuals are also important. So explain, please why you think we are morons for having Dutch organization going to court over a case of discrimination in the highest tiers of your government/army?

It is not a case of discrimination by this loudmouth, he is in no position to do anything to anyone in the Dutch army.

It is the case of an ass braying.

You choose to make a big deal out of it. He trolled you, but good.

But you get your piss in a bubble.

Cry me a river. The slaughters in Bosnia in 1995 were mostly due to a gutless set of political scum who insisted on an RoE who hamstrung a lot of hard working, well meaning troops from a lot of nations, but were crafted via that idiotic dual key rubric that gave the jerks and warlords who liked committing atrocities loads of wiggle room to work in. All your legalistic crap leaves loopholes, no matter how hard you try. Think about that, next time you wonder why those poor bastards got murdered. Rigid adherence to fancy rules and discipline and orders and coffee social appearances among the UN, which includes some of the idiots from my country.

I am trying to recall that small village in Bosnia where the British ground commander simply decided enough was enough, and taking risks with that silly RoE, pointed his guns at the Bosnian Serbs and faced them down, but this afternoon, I forget where it was: Gorazda, maybe? Funny, he prevented a slaughter, and for all you or I or General Sheehan knows, he's may well have swallowed more cock than Linda Lovelace. Were that the case, get a few more homosexuals into the infantry, and Godspeed to them!

The problem is playing footsy with murdering bands of militia and worse, not what some jackass says when he shoots off is foolish mouth.

Hi,

Rigid adherence to fancy rules and discipline and orders and coffee social appearances among the UN, which includes some of the idiots from my country.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

The only RoE should be WIN! Everything else is BS.

I learned that in Nha Trang, October '65 to October '66.

Why are the people who suffer most for those political decisions so often blamed for the results of those decisions?

I think they're both problems. The first may be the bigger of the two, but that really doesn't excuse the second. To the bigger problem, I think the solution is more unconventional forces and <strike>less</strike> no restrictions on how they accomplish their given missions. We're in the position of a man with a fly infestation and all he has is a sledgehammer. Sure, he can kill the flies, but the cost isn't worth it. What we need is flyswatters (and the political guts to use them).
