November 21st , 1995;

Hanau, Germany- after several weeks at Graf/Hohenfels training for Bosnia, word came in the morning the Dayton accords had collapsed.

YAY 😀 🥳🎉 we were all home and drinking by noon.

1800~ local

☎️ ring…

Dude we gotta go into Brigade it’s on again

“Quit fucking with me”

Turn on the TV…

20:00 GMT +2 Ultimate Buzzkill Staff meeting…

(Why yes we had been drinking).

“S3 whaddya got?”

“Well Bob, I lost confidence in the whole thing when Division couldn’t contract a bus for advance party…”

Moods didn’t improve.

I slammed a phone down on a Major “Karen” later …

Before sending a borderline insubordinate fax response …

…. And off we went…

Pepperidge Farm remembers… 🤣

Excellent couple of posts!

I still remember the early 1990s reporting on the war. I was young enough - and gullible enough - to believe most of it.

Small nitpick: The comment Kissinger made regarding Rambouillet was in 1999, not 1998: https://academia-lab.com/enciclopedia/acuerdo-de-rambouillet/

Izetbegovic was playing the long game since demographic trends were in favor of bosnian muslim population. Even with the war casualties he and his supporters were confident they would eventually come to dominate bosnia with their numbers.

On a more serious note;

Inviting in the Americans is the equivalent of inviting in a horde of barbarians who think they’re missionaries.

If you can’t figure it out, and you can’t, once money changes hands in DC … Welcome to the Mad Empire… see Detroit or St Louis or Buffalo or the Rust Belt for why you don’t want to live in Imperial America.

Now I happen to know personally your protestations of innocence are laughable oh world, so don’t misunderstand.

Your historical reminders of who you were or are available on request.

Try me.

We also know you hate us, we’re beginning to learn to hate you.

A lot.

So as an American, kindly don’t invite us?

And don’t come here either.

And yes you really should wish Trump success, indeed pray for his success. Because there’s a lot worse alternatives…

…. You’re reading one of many of them.
