Folks, need your help here.
A friend of mine is working on a paper about Yugoslavia and Milosovich, and she needs some better info on U.S. military presence during or after the whole "ethnic cleansing" in the late 1990's.
Did we have troops (both conventional and SpecOps) over there...that's both "officially" and "unofficially"?
For the life of me, I'm thinking that we didn't officially send any troops over there, b/c I remember gawking at the news and wondering how in the world could we not and why are we not doing anything about such an event taking place AND it being smack in EUROPE AND that region being one of the most charged and volatile areas of that continent...the Balkans!
We might have had some SpecOps over there that would never see the daylight of the news to the general populus. Now THAT would make a lot of sense, but if so, can anyone shed some light on this! It would greatly help.
I tried Googling it, but can't come up with anything!
So if anyone has any info, your help is greatly appreciated! BTW, the timeline she's looking at is from the end of the 1990's to say, around 2005 (which is quite a few years post the event, but it would kind of make sense).
For Admin: please feel free to move this thread if necessary. I checked out all the forums, but this is the only place that the question seems most suited to be...I mean, it doesn't really belong in the specific Army or Navy etc. forums.
