Poignant vid that is Alan cocker. I realy am ashamed to say I was there in UN blue, hands tied not being able to do anything or help the people being shot down right in front of us. A couple of us ended up in Nick for interveening and protecting a family. Disobeying direct orders was one of the bullshit reasons we got courtmartialled. That was the day my faith in the machine died.
I realy am sorry that we couldn`t help in those early days. I realy am sorry.
At least the Irish used to shoot mainly at the Squaddies and the Government. but what I saw the Serbs do to Civvies purely out of hate is beyond justification. Wearing a blue helmet was a waste of time, and not being allowed to help the Locals as we should have been was a f*cking disgrace to the western world. The UN was absolutly f*cking useless, and NATO should have Nuked the f*ckers on day one for what they were doing.
I was at a biker meet party a few years ago, just me and an old Royal Signals mate. One of the club members who had invited us had a lass on his arm. He introduced us as the "Thommys" as in the typical German name for Brits even today. All she said with a big smile was "Ohh Hi, I am ? and come from Serbia, Yes I am one of the evil ones" she was only like 20, but I nearly knocked her head of her f*cking shoulders.
The Serbs are a race of people that should never have made it out of the cold war. Evil f*cking bastards. If Iran wants to build a Nuclear bomb, let them, they can try it out on those bastards.
My Rant, any toes, I don`t give a f*ck
