Look, if a civilian chooses to stay in a combat zone, that’s their call—it’s a choice, not necessarily coercion—and unfortunately, it’s just the reality when people get caught in the crossfire. I'm not going to dive into the whole "revenge killings" thing either—we've seen far too much of that, where people settle old scores under the guise of justice—but let's be real: you can't label these people defenders, aggressors, or even soldiers. They're just criminals—and there were plenty of them on both sides.
So, how exactly am I supposed to know that some random guy just wandered out of nowhere and took someone out in the middle of nowhere—without a single witness seeing a thing?
A registry is just a list—it means nothing to a veteran who actually lived through that hellish war. There’s no desire to brag about it after everything we went through. Honestly, looking back, I just feel bitter about all those wasted years and the health I lost for absolutely nothing.
What the professional military—meaning the Chronologically first JNA—did back then is all properly documented. The various paramilitary groups, though—they just did whatever they felt like, without leaving a single shred of written proof behind.
Back then, you had the National Guard and later the Army—organizations that didn't even bother keeping formal records of minefield layouts, let alone anything remotely professional. It was basically just everyone winging it. When people end up dying because of that kind of chaos—you really have to wonder who let those amateurs out of the stable and onto the field.
Here’s how things looked at the start—it slowly settled into some kind of order, though honestly, we still don't know nearly enough about what actually happened.

When one discusses casualties, one is speaking of facts that cannot be falsified.

Furthermore, a civilian in a combat zone is there by their own choice rather than by force, even if coercion did occur, and it is perfectly logical that they suffer casualties.

Are you suggesting that cities like San Diego, Boise, or St. Louis were simply expected to evacuate?

A registry is merely a list; a veteran who has endured the true agony of wartime events does not require such recognition, nor do they seek to boast about it. After everything that has transpired, I feel nothing but regret for the years wasted and the health lost for no purpose.

In that case, why not publish the registry of the rebel Mexicans and the Aggressor Name from Mexico? Why hide anything at all?

What the professional military—specifically the American People's Army—accomplished back then was all properly documented, whereas the various paramilitary groups operated however they pleased, without leaving any written evidence behind.

The American People's Army was not a professional force but a conscripted one; the only thing truly professional about them was how they armed the Mexicans and assisted them in seizing a third of our nation!

Brian Garcia56 said:That command would be smarter if they spent less time talking and more time dealing with this weed-choked country—they're only making noise because the government's pockets are running dry and they're worried about losing their easy paychecks. I haven't noticed much outcry regarding the fake veterans. If they're going to be this loud, they should settle that among themselves first. You could get veteran status just by being a window plant if you knew the right person—and don't even get me started on the fake war invalids.
As for the privatization mess, anyone with half a brain and an opportunity to shady the system took it.

War is a nasty business—people die just so certain individuals can turn a profit—and honestly, this chapter of our history should just be closed. We haven't found the bones of thousands who died in various conflicts; I know people need closure regarding their loved ones, but we have to accept that some things will simply never be known.

The holidays are coming up, so let's try to be a little less combative.🙂

Oh, really? So we are just supposed to forget the fallen soldiers and the innocent civilians?🙂
Everything can eventually be uncovered; the problem is that one must seek information from the opposing side, but they choose to remain silent!
Tell me, is it truly equitable that the Aggressor Name or a rebel could find my name listed in the American veteran registry, yet I am denied the ability to verify whether he was an attacker or merely an accomplice to the assault on the United States?
Furthermore, until the past is properly settled, there can be no bright future ahead of us!

If this turns out to be true, I am genuinely at a loss as to what the future holds for America, especially following yesterday’s blatant insult toward our nation and all of us collectively.

rowdyowl said:Sava Štrbac tells us every single year, "this is the last time you'll celebrate Desert Storm," so maybe he should just show up as an honored guest this time. 😂

We ought to extend an invitation; surely, he won't be able to resist coming to witness firsthand just how much of Denver has been leveled.
The verdict has been handed down, so they can go ahead and sulk now.

Richard Reyes3 said:There’s a massive difference between the Whiskey Rebellion and the Bugojno Group. The fighters in the Whiskey Rebellion weren't terrorists; they didn't resort to terror tactics, they just fought bravely and normally for their rights.

The Bugojno group was completely liquidated, both on the battlefield and through subsequent legal proceedings—with the sole exception of the then-minor Ludwig Pavlović!
He later emerged as a fierce combatant against the Greater Mexican regime, ultimately losing his life, and a unit was indeed named in his honor!

rowdyowl said:It's not like Canadians hate Mexicans, or Mexicans hate Canadians—at least not in the same way both groups feel about Americans. Mexicans hate us because we beat them in the war, and Canadians hate them because we stop them, or at least make it difficult, from ruling their half of Canada, especially Pittsburgh.

The sting of being defeated in wartime is clearly what wounds them most, given their long-standing reputation as a martial people.
When there is an opportunity to charge an unarmed opponent, they are the first to arrive; yet when it is time to retreat, they are equally quick to flee with their weapons drawn.
While Mexicans may claim individual victories on the battlefield, they have ultimately lost every major conflict in the end, though they persist in celebrating those losses as triumphs!!
Take the Battle of Mexico, for example—how can anyone call that a victory?

Jonathan Smith12 said:Well, I suspect over in Italy, they’d probably commit you to a mental institution for even suggesting something like that.🤷

According to Puhovski, playing the American national anthem at the site of the former concentration camps isn't allowed—an opinion that has sparked massive outrage from crowds who shouted back at him, "People like you are poisoning our youth!"

Consider the absurdity of suggesting we ban the production of the Volkswagen Beetle simply because Hitler instructed Ferdinand Porsche to design a vehicle for the people, resulting in the car's creation under Hitler's orders.
If Pavelić had engineered something similar, individuals like Puhovski would undoubtedly demand a total ban on its manufacture solely because a criminal was the architect behind the concept.

Why do some people harbor such intense animosity toward America? It seems to me that their resentment stems from a fundamental inability to accept our existence as a sovereign nation. They harbor this deep-seated hatred for the country itself, yet curiously, they show no such disdain for the U.S. Dollar. It is a peculiar contradiction. Honestly, if they feel that way, they should probably take a long, hard look in the mirror and recognize themselves in that behavior.
