If you are going to talk about me, talk TO me, Dio. It's sneaky and rude to do otherwise.
I don't get into WWII battle by battle, because memorizing who was on what ridge on what date fighting who, just isn't my forte. I have read enough about it to form an opinion, but it isn't my country -- the US is-- and if I haven't memorized the American Civil War, battle by battle, why would I memorize WWII Yugoslavia's civil war, battle by battle?
No one here even brought up WWII Yugoslavia with reference to today's Croatia, except the Dragic letter to the editor. Until you made a big deal out of calling that guy an idiot, WWII Croatia was never an issue.
But this: "beware of Serbian propagandists and their claims"Always, always take Serbian claims with a two handfuls of salt.
That's just plain rude and disrespectful. I may think that at times you delude yourself, but I have never called you or all Croats "liars". It's not the 1990's anymore, Dio. Americans are not so gullible today to just soak up innuendo and propaganda like sponges.
One of the signficant reasons is that Kurt Waldheim, then a young officer, participated in the Kozara operation, which would remain part of his "hidden Nazi past". 30 years later he would serve as Secretary General of the United Nations for two terms, from 1972 to 1982.

That's precisely the point. Ravnagora for some reason decided to post a letter that once again brought up WW2.
Americans are not so gullible today to just soak up innuendo and propaganda like sponges.
Which is why they shouldn't lap up Serbian propaganda about WW2, I agree.
