The infamous Serbian military general got served on the 26th of May. If you're not familiar with who he is or what he did keep reading.
In a nutshell, he is one of the men responsible for the most recent genocide in Europe since world war two. Mladic ordered the systematic killing of 8372 Bosniak Serbs (Serbian Muslims) in Srebencia in the mid 90s. To the best of my knowledge the most recent mass grave was discovered in 2003. I'll leave any images out but a simple google search of "bosnian genocide" will turn your stomach upside down. The level of brutality is on a level with the Rape of Nanking in China. Even infants no more than a few days old were shown no mercy.
If you look at the images and surf around the internet for 15 minutes or so maybe you'll arrive at the same question I have: How does a human being have the capacity to commit/order such an atrocity?
It is not a rhetorical question meant to provoke an emotional response but a serious question that I think deserves a serious answer. (Methinks a psychologist would be a good person to ask?)
The closest I've come to answering my own question is that you have to be: a) some kind of fanatic b) brainwashed c) a religious extremist d) mentally unstable/insane e) all or any combination of the above.
Are there really people out there with no conscience? no guilt?
Kind of boggles the mind when you think about it.
