#2 Who told you they don't, Skidmark? Doesn't mean they'll pass a chance at some jazia, does it?

#3 Judges got it exactly right.

The Serbs murdered the men.

The Dutch gave way and let it happen.

All it took was for good soldiers to stand their ground and the massacre doesn't happen. The Dutch didn't.

#4 ..not much different than the forced repatriation of Russian POWs back to Stalin after WWII. Similar fates. Just like the Dutch soldiers, ours just followed the orders of their political authorities. At least Stalin was nice enough to wait till he got them beyond the border and out side the view of the West before dealing with them.

#5 For some reason I thought a massacre meant more than three dead.

#6 Just think what everlasting glory the Dutch would have covered themselves in if they had refused and fought. But no, military heroes are forbidden in Europe.

The deal with Stalin was a deal with the devil, to be sure. The Dutch were not in a similar situation of needing something from the Serbs.
