Bokababe,
Why does this guy call himself “Thompson”? Not a very Croatian name. I’m rather insulted because it happens to be my family name and I don’t like being associated with Neo-Nazi scum.

Clinton’s Balkan policy was a shame upon America and I am very angry with Bush for continuing it. The Serbs were unfairly demonized IMHO.

From what I read “Thompson” refers to the name of a submachine gun.

Sick Bas****ds

Someone else I know asked the same question for the same reasons, and this was the explanation he got:

Thompson Submachine Gun

The "Thompson" moniker refers to the "Tommy-gun," a Prohibition-era > automatic weapon . Some of those had made their way to Yugoslavia during WW2, > and had been stored as museum pieces until 1991, when Croatian militias > "liberated" them and used them against the Serbs. >
