You will never get the true picture of those events, everything is a lie.

I remember when I was younger (I am 72, and a combat veteran of the Army in Vietnam) that Sarajevo was a beautiful snowy mountain place where the Olympics were held, and that Belgrade was a beautiful, cosmopolitan city. We had the ‘Yugo’ car available for sale here in the US for a few years. I don’t remember where it was actually made. I recently met and spoke with briefly a female officer of the Serbian army who was training at the Newport, Rhode Island, Navy Base, here. I had never seen that military uniform before so I asked her what country she was from. She spoke excellent English was very pleasant to talk to. I asked her about the ‘war’ in Serbia, not knowing many details. Kosovo was the topic of conversation mostly. I only remember the awful bombing of Belgrade by NATO forces…the beautiful city…and seeing it all on TV. It brought back memories for me of the Vietnam war when I was 19 and I could relate on how terrible it was.
I thanked the officer for her kind information, as much as was allowed, and left determined to learn more about that complex situation. I’m still trying to piece everything together…..but it’s not easy.
