NATO enlists a reluctant Hungary into Kosovo war
"Buzz of Hornets
Last week,
20 of 24
US Marine F/A-18 Hornets arrived in southern Hungary. Equipped with laser-guided bombs, the Hornets
began flying combat missions May 28."
...
"With no choice but to play along, Hungarian officials are applying the proper spin. After inspecting the F-18 Hornets last week, Hungarian Foreign Minister
Janos Martonyi gamely lent his government's support to the air campaign.
"This is exactly the kind of NATO we wanted to join 10 years ago, one that stands for a certain set of values,"
said Mr. Martonyi, as the aircraft were unveiled to local media May 25. "Now, NATO is fighting to defend those values."
Meanwhile, the mood among Hungarians has turned fatalistic. This is especially evident in
Taszar, the small village adjacent to the air base
where the NATO aircraft are being stationed. The base has also served as the staging ground for NATO's peacekeeping mission in Bosnia since late 1995."
""We're here, we're threatening, from the tip of the sphere,"
says one of the roughly 40 American F-18 pilots who recently arrived at Taszar from the US Marine base in Beaufort, S.C."
