Internet campaign protests honoring of Dutch soldiers who failed to stop Srebrenica massacre

What a bunch of horseshit! Especially on this day, December 7th, on the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, where we, the USA, lost a terrible battle in a surprise attack by the Japanese. We lost a little over 2,000 lives in a matter of minutes. We got spanked, in other words. The same happened to the Dutch soldiers, they lost that battle. They didn't massacre anyone, they simply didn't win a battle that, had the circumstances been different like having more men, aerial support, and better armament/equipment, then maybe the battle would have been won.

But it wasn't. I doubt the Serbs were mindlessly roaming the countryside. I'm sure they saw what they were up against, then planned and executed a winning strategy. The Japanese saw what they were up against at Pearl Harbor, they planned and executed a winning strategy.

So, how the hell do these people get off on trying to humiliate the Dutch soldiers who were there trying to help. Some of whom will never fully recover from the experience. Why be so critical of their nation in honoring the effort and sacrifices they gave not only for their own nation, but a foreign one as well. In America, we honor those who survived and died in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 from the Japanese attack. We don't try to humiliate them and tell them they should have won to spare other lives. That'd be just insane!

It's just amazing to me how an idiot on a radio station can find so many other idiots to lead around. And that's not limited to just this one critical of the Dutch soldiers... even here in the good ol' US of A, I'm sure you can think of some idiots on radio who have audiences which let the radio guy do their thinking. But anyway, this is such in poor taste on a couple of levels, I find it disgraceful.

No, I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. But I do know that war is hell and that we should honor and respect those who serve their country. Shit happens in battles, one wrong decision or move can change the outcome. Anyone who doesn't know this doesn't know much history. And certainly one business that doesn't require much knowledge of history is a student radio station, as evidenced by this one which blindly protests on a whim. ,,|,,
