Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms... Groucho Marx

I don't know whether to be angry or bloody angry about the crassly stupid comments made by US General John Sheehan.

This eejit, who rather than blaming tens of thousands of Bosnian Serb forces for the massacre of 8,000 male civilians in Srebrenica, chose to focus his condemnation on unionisation and gays in the Dutch military.

Srebrenica is a stain on the conscience of post-war Europe, the EU's response to the break-up of Yugoslavia was woefully inadequate, and the Dutch forces "guarding" the safe area were understrength, but for General Sheehan to blame gays is ridiculous and he should apologise for his offensive remarks.
