Since when pillage, rape, murder is refered as "liberation", especially in foreign lands? When did Greece have ever "gained" and lost these regions, and then dared to "liberate" it? Maybe burning down cities like Aksehir or Afyon is called "liberation" in your nationalist special edition dictionary, but we simply call it invasion. And when the invader gets his ass kicked, that is called liberation, in popular literature.
 
 
In an war all the parties make crimes.But is oximoron to speak for war crimes the side that condemned via many declarations worlwide as yours.

Well, you are not the first man, who remind me that fact. But these serbian troops played very tiny-miny role in the capturing of Adrianople by the bulgarian army, and as a whole were "no-needed".

If you mean your post, maybe...Wink
But actually that serbian contingent was needed for Serbia - because - after the war, that contingent was used by the serbian rulers as a reason to say: Did you see, how great is our army and how our brave troops captured Adrianople? Wacko What would you make, if our troops was`nt there to help you? Wacko These weak bulgarians can`t do nothing without us! Wacko We deserve to hold Macedonia for us, because we give you a great help to defeat the turkish garrison of Adrianople! Wacko
That`s why these troops were "needed" for the Serbian political interests and no-needed for Bulgaria... Stern Smile

There's no doubt that the Bulgarian army carried most of the burden of the First Balkan War. Still, the role of the Greek navy was essential as it cut off Macedonia from the Ottoman empire. Essential not only for us (Serbs and Greeks) but also for the Bulgarians.
 
Wasn't Trikoupis a guy who wrote the book 'command of large units in war'? Well, I don't know if had been cought prisoner, but my guess is he came back (to write at least his book).
 
And we were actually liberating Asia Minor. For about half of the population it was a liberation. For the other half it was an invasion.
You didn't kick our ass. If it weren't for our huge internal problems, your western border would be at Afyon. And you would be happy about it.

Defeat allows no explanation
Victory needs none.
It insults the dead when you treat life carelessly.
