Mentality was so different than ours that my father resquested 10 times from Yugoslav army to be moved somewhere in Croatia or Slovenia, or at least to Bosnia to serve his remaining days in Yugoslav army, but he was rejected.
Majority of officers in Yugoslav army were always Serbians, especially when Tito died, Serbs took over everything, at least they tried to.
My father says that in Yugoslav army while serving; Croats and Slovenians would always stick togethar.
Also some of the Bosniaks would stick with Croats and Slovenians.
No one wanted to hang out with Serbians, Montenegrians.
He said Macedonians were ok but they were also totally different mentality and culture.
