Talk:Mrkonjić Grad incident

message: I say it was indecisive; the Serbian goal was not to shoot down planes as much as it was to capture Americans to use as barganing points. Three U.S. Army soldiers were seized by Bosian Serbs as well. O'Grady evaded and was rescued under fire. One can argue that the U.S. won - but the Serbs have lost so much in the last 20 years they are victory-hungryGABaker (talk) 19:55, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who won? 

message: The article does not give any background for the incident. What were those pilots doing in Bosnia? Why would Serbs fire on a U.S. aircraft? What would've happened to O'Grady if he were captured?
I guess I could find out on my own, but it can't hurt to have an intro / background section. --Itinerant1 10:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:UCK NLA.jpg

message: Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the The incident section seems to be partially rewritten versions of paragraphs 9 and 10 from F16.net article listed under External links. They are not exactly the same but they are pretty close. - Wgsimon (talk) 01:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: So, who calls it "the Mrkonjić Grad incident"? The name of this place barely appears in English sources, let alone in connection with this event. There doesn't seem to be a standard name in the US other than "Scott O'Grady rescue" (or "rescue of ..."). But this is not the name it is known by. --Dhartung | Talk 22:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: The line "On 14 August, a USAF MQ-1 Predator UAV was shot down in the same area, exposing the increasing effectiveness of Bosnian Serb antiaircraft units.[1][2]" doesnt say what year this supposedly took place and the references are a bit vague... Can anyone clean this up? Jddriessen (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

:: Yes, in June.  It doesn't have to be freezing for one to suffer hypothermia.  Hypothermia is when the body's core temperature falls below 95°F. 72.255.36.118 (talk) 03:41, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The guy was a lousy pilot taken down with a stone age anti-aircraft system in broad daylight and later used as a "hero" for propaganda purposes. Judging by the way it is described in the article one could think he crossed the Siberia on foot, while being hunted by Predators and Alienz. With their stolen unhatched offspring hidden in his survival kit bag...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.222.139.35 (talk) 20:02, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
