Gotta be a soldiers offspring

That's a sexy guy there

It's time to go home


We have weapons and stuff, which makes it easy to get to the front of the line of Kosovar kids

A squad-mate showing the kids the rubber pencil trick
Taking a break during a patrol in Gnjilan

Grenades found by the KPS when searching a home in Gnjilan. Recently the MSU (a special police unit comprised of French and Italian schmucks) actually did something right, when they found a large stash of TNT, machine gun and rifle ammunition, in the attic of an albanian home where a father and son spent time bonding. My platoon has found numerous anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, a few grenades, and some AK-47 ammo. Within the last months there has been about 5 or so grenade attacks on some serbian homes, shops, cars, but also on some albanians who belong to a different political faction as the albanian perpatraitors. Things are much better than they were in Kosovo, but far from perfect.

Standing in one of the doors at a the remains of a castle from the Ottoman Empire, in Novo Brodo. It was built to protect the gold mining operation, the largest in the region. You can still see bridges standing from the Ottoman Empire as well, and the ruins of a Roman outpost near Serbia. There is alot of history in the region, mostly of war.
