When this was then shown to be a flawed and idiotic method of play by another player rocketing the B-17, "she" immediately started insulting players for countering the lame tactic, and then started insinuating the "B-17 Wife" argument in an attempt to garner sympathy. This has obviously backfired spectacularly, as the claims have no veracity.

I dont like Jumping to conculsions either but I have to agree with the just of Lex post above that is why I brought up dates and ages. The behaviour and attitude do not seem to fit the demographic? With that being said on the "Internets " ( one of my fav G.W. isims) people can claim to be anything they want. I for one am emperor zoningo supream ruler of Moon Zeta.

As for Branko Never met her have not played with her . She likes the B17 thats fine I love the bombers as well. But if your flying one , other then in a strike or CTA and some one decides that they are going to blast rockets in an attempt to down you it should not be shocking . its simple if you are a one trick pony allways a a bomber or all you do is fly the huricane and blast rockets at everyone in the sky . That is Cheese Head material

There are Aces and a few jokers in a pack of cards.....same in BOP I guess, sweet FA to do with this thread but what the hell...a change is as good as a rest.............my old man served in the Eighth Army under Montgomery during WW2, I spoke to him on several occaisions about what it was like and some of his close shaves...........first was his Troop Transporter being Torpedoed by a German Sub on his way to North Africa and second was being Bombed........ ............by American Bombers.......used to laugh is socks off at that one as not one bomb hit a target.........the funniest was that water was in such short supply that when their recce vehicle blew a headgasket (out in the desert) they kept the water and used their 'pee' to fill the radiator.....he said the stench of steaming piss that bellowed out behind them nearly killed the poor sods driving behind................they had to keep stopping for a drink of water so that they could keep on peeing ...........

Hey Branko,
I've got to know JOED pretty well and he isn't the kind of guy to make up bullshit. I would be in exactly the same boat as him when it came to defining the borders of those countries. As much as I am well aware of what went on there I would be hard pushed to so specific. I have a very good friend who so served there with the British army and to be honest he rarely speaks of it due to the horror he witnessed first hand. I know for a fact that JOED did serve there as I have had long conversations with him on the subject. I also believe him to be a decent bloke, end of. I therefore have absolutely no reason to question whether he is telling the truth as I honestly believe he is. Similarly, if you read his original post on this thread you will find him following the same ethics as the rest of the flyers on here. Please cut him some slack

To be fair, a lot of the US and Canadian units were stationed in Croatia. Its quiet easy for people to get that area of the world a bit wrong what with the shifting borders due to the conflict, and the fact that even many Europeans couldn't pick out Sarajevo on a map let alone say it properly.

It must be either a Genetic thing or perhaps something in water . That makes you Slavs hate everyone even your self. Only place in world I know were the Muslims are victims of a group more fanatical then them selves .

I all i Know is a was pretty strong Catholic before my trip there.

Trust me I know the History its pretty simple really still fighting the same battles since the fall of Acre in late 13th century Last of the expansion of Seljuk turks and Ottomen empire bla. bla .bla . Well was the 20 Century then

All they want to do is fight only thing that brought any form of stablity was burtal dictators like Tito.

Oh well what can you expect when men breed with goats .

By the way un like you I will back my statements up with proof

look at these photos Its the only Medal i have left as it was Issued after I left the service . I threw my others in the harbour here in a fit of rage . After returning home from Adriatic to find my Family and my home gone . And our Military was only concerned with if I would be able to Redeploy back to Yugo in Jan 97 . So I put my release in Nov 96 thats when they went for a swim .

Sadley the UN will not issue replacement medals no matter what circumstances they are lost in .

I have placed todays local paper under Letter and Medal date is just above the medal
