Ref: "US private military contractor (MPRI) hit with lawsuit charging with complicity in genocide filed in Chicago federal court." This is a copy of MY letter to Major General Vernon B. Lewis, MPRI in 1995. I wonder why I never received any response!!! Stella ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* Major General Vernon B. Lewis, President 28 November 1995 Military Professional Resources Inc. Alexandria, VA 22314 General Lewis: Yesterday, my husband, Colonel George Jatras, USAF (Ret), wrote a letter to The Washington Times with his comments regarding your organization. This letter is from his wife and her thought on a group of "honorable" men; men who should have held themselves in higher esteem than to have allied themselves with what can be considered the most corrupt administration in the history of this nation. You serve a master who refused to wear the uniform of his country when he was called; a man of such despicable character that common sense, let alone a sense of honor, should have made you run, not walk, away from this abomination we now call President. With your "military expertise" and the treachery of this President, you and your colleagues have helped a fascist nation, Croatia, destroy a people who were our allies in two world wars, a people who rescued over 500 downed American pilots while at the same time, the fascist Croats along with their Muslim allies, were turning our airmen over to the Nazis. You have helped destroy a people who suffered untold agony at the hands of their Nazi tormentors and who perished in Croatia’s extermination camps so violent that it even disgusted Hitler’s SS. You have assisted in the slaughter of 15,000 Krajina Serbs and to "ethnically cleanse" over 200,000 of a once proud and brave people from their ancestral lands. Did you have even the slightest tinge of conscience when Croatian jets strafed, bombed and killed fleeing Serbian refugees? Or when Croatian troops murdered two Danes and one Czech peacekeepers? Today, Croatia flies its Nazi flag and has renamed it streets after their Nazi war criminals. Recently there was an incident ast a soccer game between Croats and Americans assigned to a medical unit in Zagreb. During the match, President Tudjman of Croatia arrived and was greeted by the Croats with their version of a "wave." The difference was that the Croats performed the "wave" blatantly using the Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute which has returned to common use at Croatian ceremonies and celebrations. The Croats then insisted that the Americans join in the salute. When the American refused, the Croats threatened to bring charges against them for not showing proper respect for the Croatian President. Did we fight fascism in World War II only for you to reestablish it in 1995? And you call yourselves honorable? But this is not the end, my friends. This is just the beginning. By your actions, you have given THIS President the courage he needed to send 20,000 of our finest into harms way. Are any of yours sons, daughters, or grandchildren being sent into that abattoir? How many of them will return in body bags? There are no words to express my disgust with what you have done. You have disgraced your uniform and your country and in the end, we will all pay for your arrogance. Stella L.
