Send In The Ground Troops

April 14, 1999 | Issue 35•14

With air attacks proving ineffective against the Serbs, the possibility of sending ground troops into Kosovo is being discussed. What do you think about such a prospect?

Old Man

Bob Hegan,
Financial Planner
"Ground troops? Didn't we already bomb the hell out of that country? I swear, we just give and give and give..."

Old Woman

Phyllis Holtzman,
Homemaker
"With all the incredible military technology at America's disposal, there's no excuse for us not to create a lasting peace in the Balkans."

Asian Man

Ross Segui,
Barber
"As a member of the U.S. Army Reserves, I have just one thing to say: 'Oh, shit.'"

Young Woman

Lynette Tenace,
Speech Pathologist
"Well, I can certainly understand why the Serbs are so aggressively nationalistic. Ever seen Yugoslavia? It's gorgeous."

Black Man

Ike Bando,
Systems Analyst
"I hear that Serb guy is the new Hitler. Of course, I can't remember why or what his name is, but the important part is 'Hitler.'"

Young Man

Rich Klimkowski,
Sales Representative
"Those Albanian refugees, camping on hillsides in groups of 20,000, living in their own feces with no food or water... It reminds me of when I followed the Dead back in '89. Keep on truckin', Kosovars!"
