Spoken like someone who is quite happy having someone do the fighting for him as long as he doesn't have to soil his own hands. Someone that is braver than hell, sending G.I.s on a path that would maximize our own casualties. But hey, what the hell, they're only grunts, right? Not even in the same class as those whose elite status earns them the right to sit on their ass, safe and sound and run their mouths at the expense of those willing to do the dirty work. Now that I think about it, you sound just like a certain incompetent Commander in Chief. I may just start calling you Lil' Bubba. I've had to have a whine suppressor and self-righteousness filter installed on my modem to keep your posts from overloading my system. Face it LB, NATO forces could have overwhelmed the Serbs in one day, rescued all of the Albanian victims, overthrown Milosevic and overseen the genesis of a kinder, saner central government in Belgrade and you still would have found something to bitch about, because that's your whole agenda. You could give a rat's ass about who is the victim in Kosovo and who is the aggressor. You just want a soap box to whine from. You're just anti- U.S., anti-NATO, anti-military and anti-anything else you can think of to bitch about. If access to this forum was restricted to those who had at least a shred of credibility, we would never have heard from you.

<<If we were going to "clean up" the Balkan mess we should have went in with ground troops and done it right. Rather we let a draft dodging politician run this campaign and turn it into the long dragged out nightmare. When we go to war (when we drop bombs on another nation) we should be willing to spill our own blood and do it right. If we can't stomach the body bags coming back we shouldn't even be there. If anything this thing has been a NATO-weakening event. Other nations now know NATO is too chicken to use ground forces !>> This is the first thing Ive read from you in days that I agree with James :)
