My neck hair still stands up when I hear them speaking...and have had to bite my tongue sometimes when I dealt with patients that were from said country. And I wasn't in Medak, but was kitty corner to it the next year - however have many friends that are messed up to this day because of it.I am not fond of a certain Balkan nation and its attempts to whitewash their own atrocity ridden military. And if I am being harsh, that is just too damn bad.
One of my coworkers is a first gen Canadian and can speak and understand said language. I said they were an arrogant lot and she totally agreed.My neck hair still stands up when I hear them speaking...and have had to bite my tongue sometimes when I dealt with patients that were from said country.

Yeah - as noted in the article, they still haven't come to grips with their past and refuse to, which is why I had objections to them joining NATO...but when you consider who were providing aid and assistance to them (cough cough US and Germany, cough cough), it's little wonder they got in and off as easily as they did. I was pretty upset when I saw their MP's show up on Camp Julien when we were building it in 2003 and blurted out something less than polite about it.One of my coworkers is a first gen Canadian and can speak and understand said language.

I’m that case Col can go fuck himself. Asshole.!At the US Embassy in Kabul, I worked with a dual national American who had been a Col in their Army (Not American) at that time, he was distinctly hostile to the PPCLI members of the team, as he blamed 2VP for wiping out one of of his Battalion’s, and he didn’t appreciate some of our jokes of aligning a pointer finger from the left hand and making a circle with the right hand to emulate a front and rear sight and wonder if we’d seen him before .
Also I questioned the logic of landing CAF flights there when some of our personnel where viewed as war criminals by their government…

Nick Glasnovic. PPCLI, then Foreign Legion, then Croatian Army. Ended up being a General, then a member of parliament for a while in Croatia. He was an HVO Brigade Commander during my first tour in Bosnia.I should mention it was rumor only but a former corporal from the PPCLI was supposed to be in Croatia fighting on the Croatian side. Any of you heard of this?
Well it used to be a solid hub for stolen (I really wanted to type stollen to see who'd get it ) North American vehicles...There was a dude in our AOR that was driving around in a Chev Astrovan with Ontario tags still on it...saw it one day on the highway from Zadar to Split. IIRC, the Vice President at the time was from Mississauga ...
Thanks for this - intriguing timeline on his web page ....Nick Glasnovic. PPCLI, then Foreign Legion, then Croatian Army. Ended up being a General, then a member of parliament for a while in Croatia. He was an HVO Brigade Commander during my first tour in Bosnia.
