the Serb refugees from Storm had a head start as their so called government threw in the towel and thus spared a great many the fate that befell about 400 of the few who chose to stay behind.

So you agree that there was an ugly fate that would have awaited them had they stayed. Yet you still cling to the idiotic line that the Serbs themselves are to blame for their exodus. You can't even maintain a coherent point, much less build on it to reach a proper logical conclusion.

Look, if you think the Croats were so pure as snow in all this, take it up with the war crimes tribunal. They don't buy your line of propaganda (to the extent that it can even be deciphered).

That they couldn't sustain the forces to keep those gains in later years, as in Croatia and Bosnia, speaks to the legitimacy of their goals as perceived by the Serbs themselves.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it couldn't have had anything to do with NATO intervention. Premise ---- ???Hoplite??? --- Conclusion.

Heck, the Serbs were able to withstand any grand offensive, but what hampered them was their own people. They already had plans and orders to fall back to prearranged lines. The ONLY reason why they "lost land" was they withdrew to those agreed upon boundaries.
