Cougarboard, if anybody knows anybody that can help with a medical situation in Bosnia, it's an American who is stuck.

That is horrifying. I surely wished I knew people there that could help.

Side note, which mission in Ukraine? My BIL served in Dnepropetrovsk.

That's great info. Thanks.

I was in Kiev 97-99

I would get him to Italy, Greece or Austria, whatever is closest. Any of those

Definitely Austria if possible

Depending on where in Bosnia, Austria is probably closest, only 6-7 hours away

I'm trying to get specifics. My wife said her friend should be back up at midnight, because that's morning there

These are some good thoughts, plus I got a boardmail from someone who said he could make some calls

Would a military base help out a civilian like that? I don't know these things.

I should have thought of this, but my BIL is a congressman.
