And after Yugoslavia capitulates and it's revealed to the world the massive extent of damage wreaked on the Serbs without the introduction of offensive ground forces, what will your slant be then? That we should have sacrificed our ground troops just to prove that we are "real men"? What is your motive in being so adamant that we employ ground troops in Yugoslavia? If we do, it will be far more apocalyptic than anything to date. The only reasonable employment of ground forces would involve a scorched earth attack of masses of armor and men. Unlike air strikes, ground forces can't afford to leave anything that might do them harm at their rear. As a result they destroy everything in their path that can be perceived as a threat. As for your irrelevant reference to the destruction of Yugo factories, have you ever owned or driven a Yugo? If you had, you would be aware that destroying Yugo factories is beneficial to civilization and a serendipitous opportunity that should not be ignored.
