...... Well I know a lot of my buddies who were there attached to the PPCLI and Medak was pretty crazy, it was a real battle and keep in mind when you question if Canadians did their job or not when you read this:

The Croatians hammered the Canadians for 15 hours straight -- thinking the 30 soldiers from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry would buckle and run like other UN peacekeepers had often done. But the Canadians, members of one of three platoons making up the Patricia's Charlie Company, held their ground. did their job or not when you read this:

thats all ok,that specific unit fought as hell,but civilians still died,so its mission failure,not for canadians,for UN. thats my point.UN comes there with their troops only to be in the region,i mean whats the point of it all when they are hands-tied to do anything about inicent being killed? UN's mission is to protect the civilians and inocent,and after all they are the one who die the most...........something just aint right.

PS: all honnors to the Canadian forces in the region,they made to be one of the most dedicated units in the region........

I understand that, but people have to want peace in order for the UN to be of an help... You can't send in a UN multinational force to protect people who want to fight... The Soldiers on the ground will do their job, but if people still want to fight, they will fight

......if ppl didnt want to fight there would be no reason for UN presence in the area,if it was simple as that,world peace would be a possible thing.UN cant get everything on a silver plate,they have to make peace,to make sides at war to make on and during that,to protect inocent and civilians.

excatly

....ok im a bit confused now,my point is that UN should keep peace even if sides at war dont want to make peace,and during so,protect weak and inocent

And that is what they are doing, and were succesful in the Balkans with that.

after who knows how much civilians died....eather serbs,croats and bosnians..................mission succseded with major failures
