From then on all hell breaks loose. The general fear and distrust takes over. In racially mixedvillages, after living together in relative peace for hundreds of years, the animosity grows by theday. Eventually the situation gets out of hand, a junior officer or his men will start theindiscriminate killing.<strong>This</strong> is the only reason for the partisan organization. The military effect of them in a denselyinhabited, civilized country is negligible. A well placed, unarmed saboteur could inflict more163damage on a military or industrial target than a ragtag partisan army ever could.As a fighting force, Tito's partisans were totally ineffective when they came down from themountains and were forced into the role of the infantry.When the war ended, that was a different matter. They were set upon the unarmed civilians ordisarmed soldiers. That is when the indiscriminate killing started on a truly wholesale andgruesome basis. They massacred Hungarians, Croatians, Germans and the Chetniks of GeneralMihailovits, their own kin, with equal abandon. They were true to their national character andcommunist indoctrination.In Vietnam, the situation was different, but only to a certain extent. The terrain was excellentfor hiding, booby trapping and ambushes. The populace was mostly homogeneous. Theleadership of the Viet Kong knew that in "set piece battles", they didn't have a chance. So theyfollowed the teachings of Mao ruthlessly and to the letter. The poor peasants had no choice,they were either killed by the Americans, or if they did not obey, by the Viet Kong. Most of the58,000 U.S. men killed in action were murdered by the peasants, who neither had the desire tokill nor to be killed. They would rather have lived in peace.....The real war criminals were not the Hungarian Sergeant Kovacs in Vojvodina or the AmericanLieutenant Calley at My Lai, although nobody can condone the hideous crimes they havecommitted. We should not forget what they had to endure for months on end, not only the threatof instant death, which would have been salvatione but the very real possibility of being maimedfor life, blinded or mutilated by a peasant girl who was forced in this mess by the horriblecircumstances.The real war criminals were not our fathers, brothers, sons, but Mao, Ho Si Minh, Stalin, Tito,and their henchmen, who coldly, premeditatedly forced this aberration on the human race.
