Well for one thing they saw what happened to the Germans durring WWII, Th German Army had 3 Army Groups (about 12 Divisions all together) tied up in Yugoslavia from 1943-1945. And this was against a very badly divided bunch of Yugoslavs (3 different Armies fighting each other more that the Germans). Yugoslavia is ideal country to defend (much like Switzerland in that respect). -- Stephen C.
