    Bondsteele- what a spot
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

      Maybe all the excellent food facilities could account for the strange abdominal growth on the Lt in the second picture

              Interesting that they are all wearing the pistol on the left hip.
              I thought that practice went out with the BAP.

European and U.S. officials are meeting with Bosnian leaders to outline a plan on how to overcome the stalemate that keeps Bosnia behind other regional countries seeking to join the EU and NATO.

                            International concern is raised over a Kosovo police bid to take over border crossings in the ethnic Serb north in which one officer was killed.

                              Nato sends more troops to Kosovo after border unrest
                              Nato is sending hundreds of extra troops to Kosovo amid rising tension in the north along its border with Serbia.

                              The military alliance said the situation had not deteriorated but that reinforcements were needed to relieve troops currently patrolling the north.

                              Soldiers from Nato's Kosovo Force were deployed after clashes broke out between Kosovo police and ethnic Serbs.

                              The trouble began when the Kosovan government sent ethnic Albanian police to enforce a ban on Serbian imports.

                              A border post was torched and demolished and a Kosovo policeman killed after Serbian nationalists reacted angrily to their presence.

                              Previously, the border posts had been guarded by ethnic Serb police, whom the government in Pristina suspected of turning a blind eye to the ban on imports from Serbia.

                              The ban was imposed in response to Belgrade's effective bar on imports from Kosovo, imposed when it unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Serbia refuses to admit any goods with a "Republic of Kosovo" customs stamp.

                              Kosovo's 60,000 ethnic Serbs reject Kosovo's independence from Serbia.

                              Serbia itself has also refused to recognise its former territory's independence.

                              More than 70 countries have recognised Kosovo's independence, but an even greater number of countries have withheld recognition.

                              Troops from Kosovo Force (Kfor) stepped in to guard the border after last week's unrest.

                              The Reuters news agency said 600 German and 100 Austrian troops from Kfor's reserve battalion would be deployed to relieve those already in the area. Kfor has about 6,000 soldiers in Kosovo.

                              Nato is to send hundreds of extra troops to Kosovo after unrest over control of the border with Serbia.

                                Have the numbers been scaled back too quickly?
