I was in Sarajevo in 92, as a Canadian soldier as part of the first tour. What a beautiful country it used to be before that war...

[@chrismcnee9287]

Adrian Shephard I can’t entertain such foolishness. Gen Mackenzie, did not rape any women. Nor did he arm anyone

[@chrismcnee9287]

D P I was around Gen MAC a fair bit and have complete admiration for him. His tough approach cost him his career in the end.

[@chrismcnee9287]

Adrian Shephard I’m sorry but, Gen Mackenzie, did not rape anyone. The Canadian government has a long hard approach to setting examples of illegal leadership. This has been proven from when the Canadian government disbanded a whole regiment (the airborne) and other situations. Gen. Mackenzie was constantly escorted with a multinational escort close protection team. He had made enough enemies with his approach to dealing with so called Chetniks. All factions whether they were Croat, Serb, Bosnian or Muslims were drunk 24/7 on slevovich (aka sleep in a ditch plumb brandy) in the town of Sirac a Croat girl accused being rapped by a Canadian solider. The Canadian government destroyed the guys life and career and when all was said and done she admitted to lying and the case was thrown out. So unless you can have substantial proof and not drunken hear say of any Canadian soldier raping anyone there’s little to no evidence. The poor ladies at the time were being rapped by the warring factions and even by there own people. It was a sad situation back in 92

[@chrismcnee9287]

D P he pissed out the government of Canada by pressing to lead the mission and also standing up to the minister of defence at the time. He also regularly discredited the UN and its poor ability to do simple things on the ground. He spoke his mind and wouldn’t favour any side there.

[@chrismcnee9287]

D P it was a strange time than. I was watching a documentary a few years ago and all of a sudden I realize I’m in the documentary (sector Sarajevo). The place was in shambles. Every side blaming each other for breaking truces? All pointing fingers except at themselves. We as Canadians at time’s did have to return fire. When this would happen it would shock the buggers as they never expected any UN contingency of not taking standing up to them. They also forgot that we were trained soldiers and rarely miss :) while we were in a town called Butmir (beside the Sarajevo airport) we brought aid packages of food and such. The locals who had nothing made us tea and super strong coffee. This was normal all over the balkins whether they were Croats, Serbs or Muslim villagers. Well this lady who handed me a tray of coffee and some pasty’s smiled and thanked us for delivering the aid packages. She was about 20-25 and like many in war regions looked tired and broken. Well zoom ahead to 2010 in at a bakery in Fredericton NB, and I see this lady who is a baker and for what ever reason I say “Dober Dan” she looked at me replied “Dobro” she immediately asks me how I know this, I tell her what I just told you. I said “you gave me coffee and pastry’s in Butmir” she broke down in tears and was a wreck. I was in a state of shock as I had not remembered that day in Butmir until I seen her. After she settled down, she sat with me and thanked me, I said for what? She said the aid helped. I see her from time to time. She told me she immigrated to Canada in 96, the odd part in 96 was my unit was back in Yugo/Bosnia again. Meanwhile all the refuges were living in a refuge camp in Gagetown NB were I was posted when not deployed. Small world.....

[@jdan94000]

they surrendered because they were still under the UN-peacekeeping rules,they were asked to not respond fire at any time to avoid the rise of the crisis,things changed after a new french president became elected and after the verbanja bridge...They fought back heavily on them.

[@jetty1337]

You're basicly asking something to the effect of what came first, the chicken or the egg? Who cares who started the war first? This was something perpetuated equally by both sides long before it broke out. www.nytimes.com/1999/11/16/world/un-details-its-failure-to-stop-95-bosnia-massacre.html www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/balkans/stories/cohen051699.htm www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/balkans/overview/overview.htm "The Kosovo rebels have signed the agreement. But the Yugoslav government - led by President Slobodan Milosevic, a hard-line Serb nationalist - has refused to go along, objecting to foreign peacekeepers who would be sent into Kosovo under the accord." "The war claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, many the result of "ethnic cleansing" carried out by ethnic Serbian paramilitary forces loyal to Milosevic. " www.nytimes.com/1992/11/27/world/a-killer-s-tale-a-special-report-a-serbian-fighter-s-path-of-brutality.html "He said that he went to the motel once every three or four days, and that although Serbian fighters routinely took the women they raped away and killed them, there were always more women arriving." kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4TCo6mQmqyKfas "11-year old Bosnian girl killed by sniper fire" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Archduke_Franz_Ferdinand_of_Austria Also.. I find it ironic and actually kinda hilarious that you forgot that it was actually SERBIA who started WW1. What the heck... hahaha. Way to blame the poor germans who got so fucked so hard in the ass by the peace treaty that they a couple of years later acually elected a nazi-madman to be their defacto dictator. Nationalism is scary. Also, ww1 is a huge tragedy that should not have even started in the first place. If you actually do your reseach you would understand that the only reason ww1 broke out was truly a case of "a perfect storm" if you will. So many unlucky coincidenses and accidents and misunderstandings led to that horrible and shitty war which remains a scar on humanity to this day. And remains a monument to human stupidity and self destructiveness. And also, regarding the massacres conducted against Serbians. They were indeed inhumane and and I am sorry for yours, and any nation or people who had to go through things like this. But remember, that does not excuse retaliating the same way. Nationalism is poisioning the minds of young men like you and your neighboring contries, and you are all hating fellow humans and neighbors based on imaginary lines drawn on pieces of paper, crimes comitted by those peoples fathers and grandfathers, whose ethnicities are questionable at best. Its like going "Oh hey, the guys across the river have purple nipples, and worship a child molester... Lets kill them because we have orange nipples and worship a bearded arabian dude who somehow is depicted as white and who walked on water or something idk." Its all so stupid. Why cant people stop killing eachother eh? And what do I see on youtube? Young men gloating over their nationality and how their etnicity is somehow better than the rest of the world or something. Its retarded and you should be ashamed for perpetuating such nonsense. Its hypocritical of you to blame bosnians when serbians did the same thing. Peace can only be achieved if everyone admits their own wrongdoings. "We didnt do nuffin" is the excuse people who cant think for themselves make. Be more critical man. Oh, and also, it sounds like you are parroting russian propaganda when you say that America and other european countries are imperialistic expansionist, bombing "completely innocent" dictatorial states and state supported terror cells. Tell me.. what european countries have in the last 20 years done an agressive expansion of their borders? Oh, let me see... Russia and baltic countries. Whoops, there goes your argument against the rest of us "scary expansionists". Tell me, do you honestly think that Serbians are completely innocent and justified in every single action they took against Bosnians?

Canadians also defended Serbian Krajina when Serbs suffered a defeat in Medački džep and opened fire on Croatian army as well. Canadians were good for nothing POS that were in Bosnia only to pose around and sell humanitarian aid for personal gains. Nothing but criminals and scum.

There's something wrong with all of you commenting that the "UN command told them to surrender". The Serbian commander explicitly said that they DIDN'T WANT to surrender because they probably had orders NOT to. With a little persuasion they were smart enough to realize that that's their best option (there's another option but let's skip it). And those of you who claim that "they could have kicked the ass out of bunch of rebel Serbs" probably think that these UN soldiers have some superpowers from Marvel comics. The army men which encircled this base were in heavy fighting on the front line for the past 3 years at this moment, this "operation" was a peace of cake for them. And it seems that this was not so serious as it looks like. They allowed the UN soldiers to bring their weapons to the collection point by themselves. If the Serbs treated them like the actual enemy their hands would have been tied at gunpoint and they would have been transported to prison right away, also at gunpoint. Eventually a lot of these UN soldiers ended up tied to the light poles in areas which were the points of interest of NATO bombers so if these points were bombed they would have killed their own men. After that all ended (I'll skip the part of the story) they were all freed. Remember, for Serbs the life of a Serbian soldier is not worth less than a life of foreign soldier. But it seems that for many of you the life of a Serbian soldier has a really low value.

More simple than that. UN engagement rules didnt allowed them to return fire at the time.

@Elizabeta Bosnae what youre saying is true but not the way you said it. It is fact that there were bosniaks loyal to JNA and continued to serve because they were residing in Serbia and Montenegro (My dad served with croats in the JNA during his time in the 90's.). and it is fact that we kept all the military equipment from Yugoslavia days. Although the Armija was not in the Serbia or JNA.... they were always in Bosnia. Armija actually had more troops than HVO and VRS as well. I would like to add that Milosevic offered Alija an agreement to avoid war against each other but under the advisory of America, Alija rejected and opted for war.

[@Милошелики]

Elizabeta Bosnae yeah your right we did have all the apc’s, helicopters and tanks In belgrade. But you know that when the war broke out most people in jna returned to fight in their homeland. Hardly was anyone else besides serbs and some JNA loyalists from croatia and bosnia.
