Okay, so I was watching Behind Enemy Lines on the television and it got me to wondering whether, if a US two-seater fighter jet was shot down and BOTH (not just one like in the movie) of the pilots were killed, would the US have been forced by popular opinion to intervene more forcefully in the conflict?
If they did, would it be merely in the form of air support, or ground troops? UN peacekeepers did engage in skirmishes with the belligerents on the ground on a few occasions.
If they did attack the Serbs with a ground invasion, would this embolden Croat and Bosniak troops to commit more ethnic cleansing atrocities, or would they be kept under tighter control due to American presence.
