Alleged Post-War Service
There are many stories circulating that Rafael Boban survived the war, and fled Croatia. One such story asserts that he fled to the United States via Argentina. Here, he served with the United States Army during the Korean War. Some claim he was killed here, while others say he lost his hand or arm. Those who claim that he survived say that he served in Vietnam, and retired to Ireland. As of yet there is no evidence to support these claims. Due to the turbulent nature of post-war Yugoslavia, it is unlikely that we will ever know for certain his fate.

Famous quotes containing the words alleged, post-war and/or service:
“Most observers of the French Revolution, especially the clever and noble ones, have explained it as a life-threatening and contagious illness. They have remained standing with the symptoms and have interpreted these in manifold and contrary ways. Some have regarded it as a merely local ill. The most ingenious opponents have pressed for castration. They well noticed that this alleged illness is nothing other than the crisis of beginning puberty.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
