Human Rights Watch says 489. The Serbian government reported 528.
Of those numbers, approximately 100 were Albanians, not Serbs.
The bombing campaign lasted 78 days and involved 1031 military aircraft flying a total of more than 38,000 sorties.
Ahh, I see....small potatoes compared to the US embassy being torched. How many Americans were killed in that event, according to Human Rights Watch?
I’m not defending what they did by any means, but after what we did to them, IMO, their reaction was relatively mild. Had anybody actually been in that embassy, I’m betting it would not have been touched outside of maybe a few broken windows. My point being Serbs don’t want to harm Americans. They aided us before in WWI and WWII, and as ridiculous as it sounds at this point in time, I think they would again.
And in regards to those numbers you mentioned...after visiting Serbia and seeing firsthand the destruction those bombings caused, unless there were 2 or 3 people living in each of those large apartment complexes, another 2 or 3 on the main bridges that went down, 1 or 2 guys working in those huge industrial and military buildings...that number is waaaaay off. If you don’t believe me, go there and see for yourself. Most of those buildings (or what’s left of them) still exist.
