Collaborator

Does he live on personal savings or on a Dutch retirement pension? K. is a retiree in Spain now where also nazi war criminals spent their retirement years in the sun and never were extradited. Through his own soldiers he knew very well what was going on as can be proven by press releases. Because of personal fear for his skin, he preferred to down Slivovitz with his Serbian wardens instead of being a soldier and complete his mission. Being a soldier includes the risk of death. K. chose not to take the risk to die himself. Out of recreancy in the face of the enemy he became a collaborator in the massacre through his failure to act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.157.41.48 (talk) 16:16, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

wikipedia put tags as "verification" and "reliable sources". can 8.000 civilian death be a verification? even silly and useless UN accepted its role in this massacre, and still needs "verification", again. by the way its shame to put karremans on the spot as he forced to live in spain. as the article noted: he called airstrikes so many times. his champagne with mladic is another issue. it can't be a matter of hate or any other similar thing. its about honour. so I never approve any offense against him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.99.38.219 (talk) 02:38, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
