June 28th, clipping her wings

Two years ago, I managed to find an English documentary on our war on YouTube, but it has apparently since been deleted.

I also wish to thank Betonov for doing his duty here on SubSim. At least one Slovenian here who shows his colours. Surprisingly, I saw the documentaries some time ago, just for the sake of it.

I don't know if we have any Croatian members here. I'm certain they could tell an even more interesting story, and an even more horrible one. We were the lucky ones, with Germany and the Vatican on our side, there was little the EEC could had done outside accepting our declaration. It should be mentioned however that the Austrians had already positioned troops on their border, expecting a massive influx of refugees and from talking with some family friends, the media, of course, painted a much lighter picture of the whole conflict. People were scarred ****less, and we couldn't had resisted the full force of the JNA. There was one more element in our favour. Besides the patriotism of fighting for our freedom and an excellently executed media campaign, the JNA was full of new recruits, who didn't go through the whole indoctrination cycle and so they surrendered more easily.

All of this from reports of course, I was 2 at that point in time and don't remember a bloody thing.
