Why can't Serbs just move on from the past and soften their attitudes towards NATO?

Look, I am an American and a Croatian, so I do not have a bias in answering you. If you read
about the details, you would discover that:

1. Serbia's infrastructure was destroyed when countries that were less developed were
getting investments from the West.
2. The promises the USA made to clean up AFTER the bombing raids never came
through.
3. The USA used depleted uranium in it's bombing campaign causing increases in cancer
rates among human beings as well as animals, such as livestock, that human beings
depend on.
4. Stories about what is happening in Central Europe or Eastern Europe are framed,
expressed and digested by consumers only for the interests of big, very big business.
That is why you are unaware of points 1 to 3.

I get it, it’s seems incongruous at first glance that a person who is primarily known for being
one of the best fighters in the planet would need protection.

But if you think about it for a minute, bodyguards solve all sorts of problems.

The thing is, when you are famous worldwide for being the ‘big dog’, there will  always  be
someone who wants a piece of you.

Recently, Mike Tyson was in the news after he clocked a guy who was harassing him on a
plane. A passenger apparently recognised him and started trying to talk to him, before
becoming aggressive and reportedly hitting Tyson with a water bottle, leading to Tyson
punching him.

Now let me ask you a question - do you think this guy is disappointed in the outcome? Hell
no! He got beat up by Mike Tyson! That’s a great story to tell down the pub for the rest of
his life. He is going to be dining out on this for the next 20 years. I would bet $100 right
now that this guy carries this newspaper clipping around in his wallet so he can show
people. There’s literally almost no downside to a member of the public picking a fight with
Mike Tyson, if they win then they get to say they beat up Mike Tyson, and if they lose they
get a great story.

This is where bodyguards come in. Getting beat up by Mike Tyson is a great anecdote,
getting the shit kicked out of you by Mike Tyson’s bodyguards is a cautionary tale.

There’s also the legal side - Tyson had to deal with the fallout from this and could have
ended up being prosecuted, if you have bodyguards for this then they can take the legal
heat off of you. In addition bodyguards provide general crowd control, stopping fans from
coming right up to you in the first place if you don’t want them to. If you are an active
fighter, you also don’t want to be constantly putting yourself in a situation where you might
have to fight a bareknuckle boxing match with some drunk rando on the street - even if you
win every time, you might break a wrist and lose millions.

Bodyguards don’t only protect in a physical sense, for fighters the protection from legal and
financial damage is just as important.
