>>Agreed. The title is biased and misleading. The fault is with the UN mandate, not the troops who had little choice and not enough power to affect the outcome. IfSay the situation was the same, but with Turkish troops under UN mandate instead of Dutch. Would they have fought and died, without enough weapons, support and air power? Or would have doen the same as the Dutch? You cannot put troops in an impossible situation and expect miracles to happen.

>We die for promises... If these soldiers didn't have enough brave they could not promise these people and these people could be fight. These soldiers said them "Take off your weapons, we will survive you". That's a clear sentence. Where is biasing and misleading?
You don't know what was said or who said it. You don't know what was promised or who promised what or who changed those promises later. You are claiming knowledge based on hearsay and based on that hearsay calling those soldiers cowards. You do not know what orders those soldiers were given. I have taken your side many times Metin but you are showing serious prejudice here and attacking the wrong people.
