A good read for a rainy afternoon

Postby flyboy 28 » Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:07 pm

I have known about the Srebenicia Massacre for a while now, but never really read about it. This puts it into perspective, and it really was a horrible thing.

The movie Behind Enemy Lines was based around it aswell I believe.

-edit- a link would help. :)

i think there's a line in the movie where one of the actors says "this (refering to the massacre at hand) is just as bad as the sebrenica massacre"

i'm not sure, but i think the movie was made around a fictional incident.

well, the movie is a bit thin anyway.
the reasonable man adjusts to his souroundings, while the unreasonable man insists on adjusting his souroundings to him.

therefore all progress is due to the unreasonable man.

There were quite some more movies on the Bosnia/Cosovo wars. One I recal was starring Dennis Quaid as a sniper and one was about a british SFOR unit. I just can't remember the names.

well, just had a look at behind enemy lines again, about the only good scene is the sequence when the SAM hits the bird and the ejection seats fire
