I guess it's academic now. Ordinance is hitting targets in Kosovo as we speak. But the scenario you describe of a massive infantry based attack would be an answer to our prayers. To be at all effective, the forces in such an attack would have to be concentrated, providing what we in the Air Force referred to as a target rich environment. If I carried one lesson with me following Desert Storm it was that there is no armor in the world that can defeat a 2000lb. "crowd pleaser" if it is on target.

Ron, it all depends upon the degree of commitment that the Serbs, and not just their leadership, have to persist in the face of such a confrontation. Hitler was prepared to back off on the re- militarization of the Rhineland and the annexations of Danzig and Czechoslovakia, and Western inaction emboldened him to regard us as decadent, and gave him credibilty with his people. It is possible that early action would have stopped WWII. Maybe it is right in this case too...
