- Who is supplying all those Croatian soldiers with U.S.
- Army gear? Washington is barred by a U.N. resolution from
- supporting either side, but news footage clearly shows the
- Croatians wearing nearly complete American battle dress.
- Fatigues are available in U.S. Army surplus stores, priced at
- $66 for a field jacket, $7 for a helmet. In August, U.S. Customs
- investigators arrested members of a secret Croatian-support
- group as they tried illegally to buy Stinger and Redeye
- antiaircraft missiles, night-vision goggles and other American
- combat goods. Seeking assault rifles, members of the group
- simply walked into Doug's Sport and Gun Shop in Calumet City,
- Ill., and ordered 3,000 M-16s.
