Military Neutrality: Motion.
Yugoslavia is an obvious example. A total of 90% of the original S4 troops who were deployed there were American. Europe sat on the sidelines and looked on at the tragedy while 750,000 people were killed and 1.5 million displaced as a result of the activities of Serbian troops throughout Yugoslavia. Europe stood idly by and it is to our eternal shame that war occurred and this State and every other member state refused to take its responsibility seriously, thus, ensuring the US Government did so instead. As Europeans, we must confront this.
