***** Where are you squeamish? I just quoted you trying to distance yourself from the atrocities of the conflict.
When asked if you were proud of bombing Christian Serbs, you responded: "Are you saying I personally bombed people? "
"I'm not really sure how YOU can comment sir, as at the time, you were at home playing super nintendo and masturbating."
As for this silly comment SON, I had already completed my service in the army BY THE TIME you were killing innocent civilians in Kosovo, so I suggest that you be careful with your assumptions.
And I've never been a rapist either, but I can tell you categorically that it is wrong. You seem to be suggesting that you have some special understanding because you were a combatant in Kosovo. How much of the geopolitics did you understand before going in? How many of the tactical decisions were you privy too? I suspect that you no more understood the big picture, than a termite understands everything about the colony simply because it lives there. You were most likely a drone; an expendable weapon, sent to do the work of politicians.
If you saved some lives and met some grateful people, then well done. I was never criticising your role or the war, I was merely pointing out that you cannot claim pride for the collective achievements of the army when it suits you, then want to be viewed as an individual soldier when called on the atrocities committed by that collective when called on those. If you didn't kill innocent Christians in Kosovo it is unlikely that you avoided it out of some principled stance, but merely because you were not called upon personally to do so.
