RE: Count the number of troops we've lost in the Balkans.
Of course, the body count and casualty totals. What else is there? What better yardstick by which to evaluate -- no, excuse me -- what better pedestal, upon which to elevate and uplift the moral compass?

But for a duplicitous, immoral, neo-colonialist triumph, the Balkan "victory" certainly carries with it much the same olfactory redolence, and splendid bouquet.
When Osama has ordered his followers to attack us wherever they find us?
Nothing but Serbian BS, that's what.
