M18 Hellcat used by the Republika Srpska with a retrofitted engine from an FAP-13 truck. This was done due to the severe lack of spare parts available during the Yugoslav Wars.

People talk about the LA riots as influential to the DS9 pilot, but i wonder also if the Gulf War was in the writers’ minds while developing the show. After all, the DS9 pilot is about a powerful government interfering in the politics of a faraway and unfamiliar nation, and seems concerned with the question of whether or not that interference is ethical. Given that the Gulf War was, shall we say, less than ideal, I could see Sisko’s compassionate leadership among the Bajorans as an attempt to articulate a kind of foreign policy that is ethical and that the US might hopefully practice someday. What are your thoughts? Do you feel like the Gulf War informed the way you tackled the political situation with Bajor, Cardassia, and the Federation over the course of the show? (For context, I was not alive during the Gulf War and I watched DS9 on Netflix, so I apologize if there’s anything about the early 90s that I’ve missed or misunderstood)

Good question!

The Gulf War was definitely an influence and for pretty much the reasons you laid out. The Yugoslav Wars were also going on through the run of the series, and the Lebanese Civil War had just (mostly) ended, and the messiness of those conflicts, with their shifting ethnic and sectarian alliances and clashes, influenced us as well.

Overall, I think these events influenced DS9 to be a bit muddier than other Star Trek shows. The elegant, hopeful, but perhaps overly simplistic, "See a problem, solve a problem, warp away" storytelling of much of TOS and TNG seemed a bit less "true" given the times. We tried to bring in less certainty, more shades of gray, while still telling stories about good people trying to make the universe a better place.

All media are products of their time.

Today marks 32 years since the beginning of the Bosnian war.

I’m gonna include links for information and resources in this post.

Thousands of innocent civilians, mostly Bosniaks would be slaughtered, raped and/or interned by Yugoslav army troops, Bosnian Serb fascist militias and foreign volunteer mercenaries (mostly Russian and Greek christofascist types).

This would lead to the Bosnian genocide which consisted of atrocities such as the Srebrenica massacre where 8,372 men and boys would be killed en masse.

Among many other atrocities (too many to list here)

Atrocities which continue to be defended and/or denied by politicians among the Serbian far right, Bosnian Serbs, and far right fascist monsters in Europe, America, Israel and other places.

Including British loyalists in my own country, lionising figures like Miloševic and calling for my own people to be slaughtered like the Bosniaks. (Ironic since the UK they claim loyalty contributed troops and resources to the NATO and UNPROFOR missions against such forces in Yugoslavia at the same time)

Defending or denying such atrocities saying “tHe SErbS wERe ONLy deFEndinG THEir hOMeLanD¡” (if I hear another kebab removal joke I will NOT hesitate to get violent). Lionising the perpetrators in the process. Even to this day.

The war would end in 1995 with the signing of the Dayton Agreement. Which has since led to a lasting but uneasy peace but denialism still continues.

I’m including a few more links in a followup post too.

Reblog the shit out of this.

I bring this up because I study history myself.

Another one for the collection: home-made vest from Bosnia, another example of taking old Yugoslav Army M77 parkas and cutting them up. Magazine pouches are weirdly deep, most likely intended for either Thompson/PPsh or RPK magazines. Comfy and snug to wear though!
