Great article, thanks from a life long Serb supporter and friend.
Clinton and NATO REPAID the enormous DEBT to the SERBIAN people by ganging up on a small nation of 10 million people bombing them for 79 days days dropping 23000 bombs killing thousands..
The injustices - the lies - the Orwellian propaganda disseminated——have destroyed the credibility of both organizations.
Mihailovich was a Mason.
BUMP for hero remembrance
There are so many myths out there about Mihailovich that it’s mind boggling. This is one of them. Mihailovich wasn’t a Mason. He was a Christian Orthodox Serb. And believe me, it cost him.
Had he truly been a Mason or whatever else he’s been accused of being, he would have met a very different fate.
The stories are amazing. These guys lived war when war was still somehow noble in all of its destruction.
They were truly the Greatest Generation and I’m priviliged and honored to have known many of them in my lifetime. I wish they would live forever.

I certainly have no direct knowledge as I was one year old at the time.
;O)
No worries, mate ! (I’ve always wanted to say that - ever since I saw “Crocodile Dundee” :)
There is a TON of disinformation out there about General Mihailovich, the primary of which is the whole “Collaboration” charge. People must never underestimate the power of propaganda and smear campaigns to get integrated into “history” and pass for “real” historical documentation. Nobody knows that better than the Serbs, both then and especially now.
Just pay attention to how often the same “buzz words” are used when the media or politicians and policymakers discuss the Serbs. Whenever you start hearing the same “buzz words” you know the “information” is suspect. Same applies for General Mihailovich and his Chetniks.
By the way,you being one year old at the time means you were alive when it was all happening which I cannot claim !
And it is shameful how the US has repaid the Serbs by betraying them to the Jihadists in Kosovo.
Things have never been made right. Imagine how the American veterans who were saved by the Mihailovich Serbs have felt all these years.
The U.S. policymakers throughout the 1990s and even today condemn Slobodan Milosevic (now deceased) and used Milosevic as the pretense for attacking the Serbs in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo.
HOWEVER, and this is a big HOWEVER, U.S. policymakers had no problem appeasing Josip Broz Tito after WWII until his death in 1980. Tito made Milosevic look like a pussycat.
This is one of those “Ironies” of foreign policy that is going to be difficult to reconcile.
The Serbian nation, in a nutshell.
Meanwhile, the Bosnians and the Albanians joined in the hunt for the American flyers.
And those are the people are government has chosen to support against the Serbian people.
Pure idiocy in a nutshell.
Well, TGJ, you’ve been squawking all over the place that those of us who support or are Serbs, Orthodox Christians, or Greeks are “treasonous” and not “loyal Americans”.
Do you say that about the WWII veterans (including the Serb-American OSS agents) in this article?
What is REALLY treasonous is handing our country over to the Muhammadans, their fifth columnists, and their shills, and helping them in their evil plots to conquer more and more Christian lands such as Kosovo !!!!
I know all about this, because we have a large fifth-columnist mosque in our area that spews anti-Serb and Russian, anti-Christian, and antisemitic hatred, and funds jihad all over the world. Yet the dhimmi and Dhimmwit politicians and “mainline” clergy cozy up to it.
It’s time to cut out the islamist and Dhimmwit cancer, and to support our Christian civilization, especially the Orthodox!!!!
BUMP for the greatest generation and how we have BETRAYED those who helped them survive.
Here’s something I hadn’t seen yet. It appears to be a mob of Mohammedan Bush/McCain supporters burning a Serbian Orthodox Church... a part of Bush’s legacy which Orthodox Christians will not soon forget. Notice them ripping down the crosses. This is what we are supporting with our money and what our troops are under orders from the Christian hating, Mohammedan dhimmi Bush to protect.

TGJ, what precisely is the American interest being furthered here? What is your “loyal American” justification for this? Is it still your position that refusal to zombie-like salute the Bush policy which makes this possible is treason?
The Soviet Union was also America’s ally during World War II. The Soviets were well known for destroying Christian churches. Was it wrong to be an ally of the Soviet church-burners in World War II?
You really don’t see the difference? The greater enemy was German national socialism on the march in alliance with fascist movements all over Europe.
Now we stab our allies in the back—the same Serbian allies who are the staunchest defenders against Islamofascism. We prop up what Josef Broz fabricated.
Makes a lot of sense -— God help us.
