Paul, dont worry, there is no need to be oversensitive when we mention some recent history (of these parts)
Ethnic cleansing that you mentioned happened mostly in Bosnia and on smaller scale in some parts of Croatia, but never really anyhere on Adriatic coast where I live.
Than again, I dont think that anybody in particular is interested for that story either, so no need to go in depth of explanations who hated who and why (that goes to Mary Jo)
My point was simple, you just cant 'praise' the war. (maybe some revolution from time to time, at max) unless you are either sociopath or you have some financial benefit from it, which is cynical point of view and
again should not be stated openly, if you consider yourself a gentleman.
Now, personally I can tell you that my town saw very little fighting, at the begining of conflict, but some other parts of country were
struck badly.Lots of people went to war, in one way or another (it was not a classic 'all in' conflict) some made it back unscaved, but also some of the guys from my elementary school and some oher that I knew, never returned home. Also, because war is quite turbulent time in many ways, streets were floaded with heroin and many more died of that as well.
I guess that techno music kind of changed that trend, so there is something positive about that 'sound', after all.
I guess I could tell you many stories about those times and aldo they may be dark, I bet you would laugh to hear some of them.
As for Frogmans story, not only the people who got bombed suffer.
Here, some 3000 war weterans commited suicide since the end of war.
That is massive number and the damage that war creates to society in general cant be even calculated, like perhaps the damage in economy.
So,aldo its hard for individual to fight against the system, or even to ask from somebody to feel sorry about some people somewhere in the middle east for examp, but at least dont tell me that is good to bring home your own dead and wounded, just for sake of somebody elses profit, because, obviously, those trillion of dollars spend on arms would better serve people who need jobs, education, healthcare or plain infrastracture...
