Just like to pick up on the point of how the so called ‘peacekeepers’ didn’t step in. I read an account of a Welsh solider who was in Bosnia at the time of the war, and he witnessed the atrocities. And one day he said he couldn’t sit back anymore and he went out armed with the intention of stepping in and stopping what he was witnessing. He was immediately taken and discharged on mental health grounds! He went back to Wales and couldn’t readjust to what he’d seen, consequently lost his wife and children. And he lived on a mountain in a tent for years, there is some happy ending he remarried, and had a daughter and lives in Wales with his family. However, he suffers serious disabilities due to chronic PTSD and has never totally recovered.
I found this interesting and very sad, as it is the story of a decent individual with a sense of right and wrong, he became another victim. Just from the other side of the coin.
