Let's not pretend the SAS fought like they were BiH. They primarily just stood around and reported back to Sarajevo UN HQ or London as to what was going on. It's not like the UK/USA/NATO bombed the Serbs around the clock.

If the UK/SAS wanted to help Muslims kill more affectively, as you claim, then they didn't do much in support. The Muslims had chronic arms shortages throughout the war and, if I'm not mistaken, Gorazde was one of the three towns in Eastern Bosnia full of refugees driven out from elsewhere - land the Muslims never reclaimed. The SAS was active around Screbrenica as well, and we both know who won there!

The few SAS-directed airstrikes in 94-95 were meant to simply hold the Serb advance at bay - not to help the Muslims turn the tide. If helping the Muslims were the goal then a few AT-4 rockets, artillary pieces and more ammo would have seen the numerically superior Muslims break out of the UN safe areas and drive the Serbs back to the Drina. But it never happened.

Trust me, DTA: If the US/UK wanted to help Muslims kill Serbs they'd have done more than just launch a few airstrikes on their behalf.

The Danish used Leopard tanks against the Serbs in 1994: In 1994, the Danish squadron garnered international attention during Operation Bøllebank, when the troops defeated Serbian militia forces in battle.

More discussion on this with article that mentions Serb children vulnerable to Muslim shelling: http://army.ca/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000095;p=0 "By finally shooting back, Moller and his troops destroyed bridges of confidence and trust that they painstakingly had built to the Serb side. The Danes had built a four-mile road for Serb children to use in walking to school from the nearby village of Pelemsi, so they would remain safe from Muslim shelling."

The damage to Bosnian Serb infrastructure caused by NATO/British/US bombing was great, and many Serb civilians were killed. Depleted uranium was used as well - especially in a Sarajevo suburb called Hadzici.
