May 6 1992 first installment

I remember how many of you in Slavonija and Croatia actually read my articles is it because you are interested in what a foreigners point of view is or do you just read them because they are in the paper? Do you read them and try to understand what I'm trying to say because I write the truth from a soldiers point of view, a Croatian soldier, it is totally different to the governments and it's generals, who is really telling the truth, we as soldiers are being attacked daily or the government who sit in their comfortable chairs and drive around in beautiful car's? Do you read my articles and say to yourself "I agree with that" if you do then you as the people are on the road to democracy. What I write about is what I see and feel, I am not scared to write because I only write the truth. When I go around the town, to a cafe, to a restaurant or to a different army unit, I hear people talking about the same things as I write about, the only difference being that they talk amongst themselves and I write in a newspaper. These people, the people that really matter also dream of a time will come once again to Croatia but a peace on our terms not a peace settled between governments and generals. We and some have died for what we have left of Croatia, let's not give what was taken from us by force stay in the enemies hands, it was never theirs and should never be part of a greater Serbia, you must learn that as a future democratic country you the people have a right to be heard. This country doesn't belong to Dr.Tudman, it doesn't belong to the military, you the Croats have fought for freedom, this country belongs to you. You have the right to say, write and do as any person in any other democratic country does. Our government should know that we do not want to negotiate peace, we want to tell the communists to get off our land. Our president Dr.Tudman is truly a great diplomat but is he a leader of the people? He now wants peace but it seems that he is prepared to sacrifice one third of Croatia to get it. Is he and his government going to stand by and watch the communist insurgents stay on what was once our homeland, it seems to me that they are. The whole of the world's is now on BiH, is Croatia forgotten, does the world realise that the war is still going on no matter what the government says? Do they know that we have been ordered not to return fire and the only reason that we sometimes do fire back is because we don't want to see Serbians or chetniks in our gunsights on our land. Does the world know that the military command in all front line towns and villages do not want to sit back and watch their zones stay occupied by free-lance communists? Do these commanders know that they will be replaced in time by commanders who have been sent by the Government and that these replacements have little if any experience of being a soldier.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

The other foot

I bet that the president of Ukraine is now extatic when the shoe is on the other foot and the idiot in the Kremlin is getting a right good kicking. It's been so long since the people of Ukraine had something to be happy about and not feel miserable every day. They may be still losing their homeland little by little every day but I now think that perhaps the tide is turning. The incursion into the russian motherland which is the first time since WW11 is an early Christmas present after all the suffering that they have endured physically, mentally and the bodies of their loved ones coming home from the front in boxes. Now it's the turn of the russian people to be upset and experience what the ordinary people of Ukraine have for so long. The Ukrainians have gone on the rampage and are taking russian soil not inch by inch but mile by mile, now there's a sense of jubilation among the people of Ukraine and the mood of the ordinary people of Russia has turned against the puppet ma...
