Removal of content[edit]

Over the past few days the following part of a sentence was three times removed from the article: ", which had been defeated in 1995". This referring to the Bosnian Serb Army. All three times the removal of content was made by IP address users. No reason for the removal of content was given. Since the content is both sourced as well as beneficial to the understanding of the article the text has been reinstated each time. Crispulop (talk) 22:15, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

White men?[edit]

@Streamline8988: Are you sure all of the mercenaries were whites? Some Western Europeans aren't whites, and South African mercenaries could be of mixed blood. It seems a little bit racialist to classify people by this way.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 17:11, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a subject matter expert in this area, but I thought it was correct and appropriate. With that said if you think it's wrong I'll revert it. Streamline8988 (talk) 03:15, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
