Posting your reply twice, does not make it true.

You are right about that. It's the facts on the ground that make my post true. Instead of arguing with me, why don't you write to the U.S. soldiers quoted in the article above and tell them how wrong they have it--that from right behind your computer keyboard in the USA that you've got it all figured out. But I doubt you'd do that--your disrespect for the U.S. military is exposed in this piece of slander:

[US/NATO] murdered thousands of Serb civilians.

Human Rights Watch, a decidedly unfriendly to the US organization, came up with a range of some 488 to 527 civilian deaths caused by NATO bombing; as corroborated by the 495 deaths recorded by Serbia's own Ministry of Foreign Affairs publication “NATO Crimes in Yugoslavia”. Look at paragraph 53.

Every innocent civilian death is a tragedy, but given the total number of sorties; our Air Force, Navy, and Marine pilots did a wonderful job of hitting their designated targets while avoiding civilian casualties. Just like Saddam’s Baby Milk Factory, the Serbs were propagandizing as hard as they could to discredit our airmen and gain sympathy from the gullible.

Bottom line: what you believe is in direct contradiction to the facts and to reports coming from U.S. troops who are actually in Kosovo.
