Spanish NATO pilot calls NATO actions
"criminal", "barbarous" and "savage"
This remarkable, honest and savage attack on
NATO by an honourable Spanish pilot who was
forced to participate in its criminal assault upon
Yugoslavia and who condemns that war as
barbarism from beginning to end, deserves the
widest circulation. Please re-post it to every friend,
journalist, member of the military, legislator, mailing
list, radio talk show host, and appropriate Internet
conference that you can think of!

>From the Spanish weekly "Articulo 20" (Article 20,
the constitutional provision on the freedom of speech?),
No. 30, of June 14, 1999, about the NATO bombing
raids against Yugoslavia and the role of Americans in
making all decisions.
The Spanish pilots of fighter planes admit that
NATO attacks civilian targets.
The pilots of Spanish planes who participated in
bombing raids against Yugoslavia do not feel like
"supermen" nor as masters of air space. Quite on
the contrary, they say that our forces play to the
tune of music played by the North Americans,
and accuse NATO of having honored with medals
the bombing of civilian targets, what they otherwise
name "collateral damages". Jose Luis Morales
Captain Adolfo Luis Martin de la Hoz, who returned
to Spain end of May after having participated in the
bombings since the beginning, an "authentic expert
for the dreadful F-18", the war plane most often used
in the war strategy of "scorched land" in the Balkans,
is very categorical:
"First of all, I want to make it clear that the majority,
I say the majority, of my colleagues, even if not all,
are against the war in general and against this war
of barbarity in particular." Martin de la Hoz says
that he and his colleagues "are burnt out". "Since
a few days ago there appeared in the papers certain
statements of the commander Maches Michavilla,
who is now in the air base at Aviano with the pilots
who replaced us, in which he said that our worst
enemy in the air was our mental and physical health.
But I tell you that our worst enemies are our own
authorities, the Defense Minister and his whole team,
the members of the Government, who know nothing
about war and go along with it without informing
themselves about anything and, what is gravest,
are guilty of lying to the Spanish people through
the papers, radio and television, foreign
correspondents and press agencies."
The suspicions that NATO's repeated bombings of
civilian victims and non-military targets are not the
result of war "errors", are confirmed by Captain Martin
de la Hoz: "Several times our Colonel protested to
NATO commanders why they select targets which
are not military targets. They threw him out with curses
saying that we should know that the North Americans
will lodge a complaint by the Spanish Army, once
through Brussels and again by the Defence Minister.
But there is more, and I want to tell it to the whole
world: once there was a coded order of the North
American military that we should drop anti-personnel
bombs over the localities of Prishtina and Nish. The
colonel refused it altogether and, a couple of days
later, the transfer order came. But what I say now is
nothing compared to what I shall have to
say when the time comes."
The Spanish military denounces that "the Spanish
Government not only does not try to inform
themselves but they also accept the false reports
that are edited for them in Aviano, where there is
a sort of military press cabinet in the hands of North
American generals and functionaries. Ever since
we arrived in Italy - the Captain goes on - there is no
end to humiliations and insults. The order givers are
only the North American generals, and no one else.
We are zeroes, just as our replacements are going
to be. But there is still more to that. Here they say
that several operations were directed by Spanish
commanders and pilots. Lies over lies. All the
missions that we flew, all and each one, were
planned by US high military authorities. Even more,
they were all planned in detail, including attacking
planes, targets and type of ammunition that we have
to throw. We never directed anything, and our
missions were limited to flying over the borders of
Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Slovakia."
Government's lies
None of the pilots presently stationed at Aviano, who
replaced those who went to the Italian base a little
before the start of war, last March 23, were there with
clean conscience, says the Spanish military. "It is
being written to saturation that the disciplined and
patriotic Spanish pilots according to Minister Eduardo
Serra - are concentrating on the complexity of their war
missions". But we read so many discrepancies, so
many lies that we agreed to not read a single
newspaper until we return. Our anger is enormous.
The President of the Government, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and the Defense Minister are lying
brazenly each time they talk about the war. Some of
us are of another opinion and believe they do not
inform themselves, because the North Americans
- the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA, the
Embassy or military information service, whoever,
do not inform them about anything. How should
they inform themselves if our own Javier Solana
has not informed himself since the war broke out?
Solana is a puppet who has been put there by
the Yankees to do what they tell him he has to do.
And so he does, standing straight before General
Clark when he talks to him, or better said, when
he issues him the orders that he has to implement
without delay."
On the subject of manipulation of information about
the war, Captain de la Hoz says that "no one has
said anything about the incidents that took place in
Aviano, about the disastrous maintenance of Spanish
machinery,and above all about the constant
humiliations to which we were subjected from the
beginning. Not that we were cannon food. No. We were
nothing. About the fatal accidents, the losses suffered
without connection to combat, the contempt and
sanctions, not a word. From no one!"
For the wrong selection of targets and humiliations
the Spanish militaries are ever more certain that there
is no alibi. "We know perfectly well that we are
intervening in a conflict - says Martin de la Hoz -
which is rejected by the majority of the Spanish
people and this is most important for us. But what
they do not say in any information, commentary or
speech, is that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese ...
that we are there to cover up the North American
generals who are dealing and wheeling in the war.
There is no journalist who has the slightest idea
what is happening in Yugoslavia.
They are destroying the country, bombing it with
novel weapons, toxic nerve gases, surface mines
dropped with parachute, bombs containing
uranium, black napalm, sterilization chemicals,
sprayings to poison the crops and weapons of
which even we still do not know anything. The
North Americans are committing one of the biggest
barbarities that can be committed against humanity.
A lot of very bad things will be told in the future about
what was happening there, because, by the way,
judging by what we talked about with the British and
German officers, it was designed in order to divide
the Europeans and keep us subjected for
many decades.
Therefore, Captain Martin de la Hoz is enraged when
there are talks about the costs of the war. There
should be no doubt, he confirms that the militaries
detached in Aviano are receiving bonuses which are
"five times our salary", without counting daily
expenses and other prerequisites.
We could say that we should be satisfied with
what this war means economically for each one
of us, but it is not true, what they give us is the
chocolate for the parrots. This war is going to
cost the Spaniards more than all money allocated
for culture in the last five years. And how, even if
now no one says anything because of the elections,
it will be evident in a few months and will be felt in
our pockets. Because this brutal solely Yankees'
war, no one's but Yankees', is going to be paid by
all of us. Be sure that what I say is not to exculpate
myself and to intone 'mea culpa' for having
participated in it, because I will never be able to
forget that what was being committed there was
one the biggest savageries of history."
