Dear Charles. You have no idea how glad I am that you have been trying for so many years to present my country in the best light. We have been fighting against prejudices for so many years. The whole world looks at us strangely, reproachfully. They don't know how much suffering we have survived. One small, stubborn country, which no one will ever bow to. Like every nation, we have bad people. I see how you are fighting hard to present us as a silly, cordial and good people. Many times we did not get a visa for America because we are Serbs. They represent us as war criminals. Thank you on behalf of your people, and I would like you to put a Serbian translation on There are many people who do not understand English and want to follow and watch you. Best regards
Charles brate, you prepared yourself well for the video about a very sensitive topic for both of your countries. Lots of self-reflection and humbleness in this video, as this day deserves.

Charles, I am a war veteran and believe me, our country doesn't give a shit about veterans. Americans have a nice tradition to pay respect to veterans, this is the least they can do for them.
@@ilovesrbija why do you think we sent all the generals to Hague? A court to which USA does not allow it's solders to be prosecuted ? It is because of pressure, bombs, sanctions, instability which can happen again if some wdc burocracy decides to do so, so now we try to comply with foreign powers and not to collide as it happened in the 90es. And at the same time you can not celebrate people who were targeted by NATO

@@ilovesrbija Thank you, Charles. In Serbian history, one thing about veterans is always repeated, after the war veterans are neglected, not respected at all, they are on the margins of social life, they were and are so many wounded and invalid veterans with no income at all, with no or very small social help from the government. I've seen so many appeal for help for the wounded or ill ex-soldiers, people gather funds via text messages or from donations from good people. It seems the government is forgotten us or embarrassed of these people. Americans have a nice tradition to respect their veterans, remembering those who fell for their country. So, I respect the American people, they know how to thank their soldiers.

Truly God bless all the Serbian veterans from the US, I understand how brave/valiantly they all fought regardless of the reason. All armies to bad things in war but they still fought for their nation's with pride and dignity. Especially the fallen Serbian and equally American soldiers in WWII how they fought til the last breath. And God bless you too Charles for being such a kind hearted, giving and thoughtful person. Cheers my friend! 🇺🇸 🇷🇸
Charles, “when you said I equally love both of my countries”, that literally got tears in my eyes, I live in your country and you live in my country, I wish I can go to my country.

my Dad's first cousin died as American pilot in Asia during WW2. He survived his plane downing during Hong Kong raid on Japanese and he took his buddie on his back, he was saved by the Chinese and was back after 2 months to his base in India. He died the next year at the age of 22. Today it is not popular to be Serbian in USA even the children bully and mock my little cousins, and their parents settled in USA 20 years ago. Being of Serbian last and first name, religion even born in USA is not good at the moment even kids in school have problems. Can you imagine learning fake history from US books about how bad Serbs are or were . Not mentioning 1 million refugees (from Krajina, RS, Kosovo) who were thrown out of their homes at the gun point while they were bombed by Croat airplanes which would not happen if Serbia was not threatened by NATO not to protect peasants in Krajina, RS in 1995 or Kosovo in 1999 when 200.000 people had to flee
3:08 Dear Charles, you are completely right about treatment of serbian veterans by the institutions. Nowdays it's a bit better, but until recently serbian veterans were treated pretty much like aggressors in their own country. American soldier is a hero even when he protects interests of the USA (whatever that implies) across the world, thousands miles from home. But serbian soldier is an "unpleasant appearance" even on his own ground. That kind of politics established after '99. NATO aggression on FRY. After that military was destroyed, NATO politics and standards took over; NGOs and media introduced anti-serbian and anti-military propaganda narrative in public discourse vilifying any serbian national interest; The Hague Tribunal played and still plays it's own role until these days. Bottom line: if you are small, but freedom-loving - it's the deadliest combination.

How great would it be if Yugoslavia still existed but without any of the socialism that tore it apart? Would it still have fallen apart even without Socialism involved because of the Albanians, Macedonians, Bosnians or etc, or would it be thriving?🤔
@@shyryTsr2k Socialism didn't tear us apart. It was the Undemocratic States of America that tore our country apart. For them, only the neoliberals and fascist dictators deserve to be democratically elected. If the people democratically elect a socialist, they do a coup. And that's not what democratic countries should do. The best example is Chile, when the democratically elected president and a socialist Salvador Allende was overthrown and replaced with a fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet, in 1973.
I know my grandfather who served in the Marine Corps served in Vietnam but sadly many Vietnam vets were treated like crap when they came back to the US because nobody agreed with it. My great grandfather served in the US Navy in WWII and he was at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. I even have a cousin graduating boot camp soon and a currently serving Air Force cousin. So I do have some understanding how tough it is...
Hi Charles glad to see you, I was just wondering yesterday where have you been? On a personal note, if you don't mind, I see you have a beard and mustache, the colors are a little different. Is that intentional or just the way it comes in. I have a friend that had her hair color come in different stages of grey, white, dark it actually looked very nice. Maybe it is my eyes, I do need them checked, but we still are in lockdown here in Ontario Canada, so we can't go or do anything. I hope all is going excellent with your new venture and all else. Nice to see you, wishing you all the best, don't be a stranger, we love watching you. God Bless.
Was just watching a documentary about the battle of Guadalcanal. This one island took 7200 US Marines lives. I am sure none of them wanted to be there, but they served their country and did what they needed to do! 🇺🇲
Hey Charles. Think you’ll make it to California before returning to Europe? All restrictions for events less than 5,000 people will be lifted in California on June 15th. You are welcome to visit anytime, from one dual citizen to another,... Vincenzo will have three :)
Veterans haven't always been respected in the US. After WWII there was Korea. No clear cut winner but a truce in the 50s that still holds today. Then there was Vietnam. Once again no clear cut winner just everybody got tired. Korea was a big letdown. But Vietnam was the worst. Returning vets were spat on in airports and for years people refused to admit they were in Vietnam. Healing takes time but thankfully in the US those days are over. Serbia will catch up. My best friend in Serbia fought in Sarajevo. He won't start the conversation of his exploits but he doesn't shy away from talking abut them either. Met him working in Nigeria around 2003.
@@europeon2wheels89 were the soldiers spat on by activists who didnt know any better? Or people in general? I know that people in that time were very frustrated with government. Thats back when the left was the more rational party and the right was all bootlickers as far as I know...
Many Serbs have laid down their lives for our freedom and we are grateful to them for that also many American soldiers gave their lives for a free Europe against Hitler,but the Serbs and the Russians were destroying the Germans from the east
True about veterans. I don't know why but it is. I suppose to be a veteran is nothing special in Serbia ( it is somehow normal thing to fight for country). It is sad. Historicaly probably was the same. Find and read story "Sve će to narod pozlatiti". It is about such a situation.
Geographically landing in the Balkan region would not only be a nightmare, but we were/are allied with France and the UK. The Balkans were completely invaded by the Nazis which was just terrible, but I think geographically if you look on the map it wouldn't make much sense tbh..
Read a story "Sve će to narod pozlatiti." Serbia is full of talk about wars in the past, but on the other hand it deprives its veterans of of tjeirs allowances.
