My National Guard unit was sent to Croatia in support of the Bosnia mission in the summer of 1997.  Basically, we were a glorified truck stop for supply convoys heading into Bosnia until the railroad bridges over the Sava River, the northern border of Bosnia, could be replaced. All of the bridges over the river had been blown during the war.

In the fall there were riots at the Brcko bridge.  Brcko is pronounced Birchko.  That’s the secret of Serbo-Croatian, any ‘e,’ ‘i,’ or ‘u’
sound in English is left out when they spell the word, plus the ‘c in the middle of the word sounds like ‘ch,’ and at the end of the word is either ‘ch,’ or ‘ts.’

The Do’s and Don’ts of WoW: – From mostly a rogue’s perspective.

(Submitted by Jason Cyrus)

1. Do not mistake the mass buff bind for the Blink bind. This will result in your immediate death by cleave from the boss you are about to fight.
2. Do not pick a fight with a Ret Paladin, they will rape you in the face.
3. If you aren’t a plate wearer, do not pick a fight with a rogue, they will rape you in places you didn’t know you had.
4. Even if you do wear plate, unless you are a paladin, don’t pick a fight with a rogue, they will still rape you in ways you couldn’t imagine.
5. Just because the Paladin/rogue is on half hp does not mean you can win.
6. Always check your buff mats, no one likes to hear “I ran out of candles I’ll have to buff all 40 of you singly.”
6a. Don’t expect mages to always make a table.
