KFOR Chatter

 In recent days, KFOR has come up, and you might want to know the military organization.

At the end of the Balkans war period....NATO pieced together a unit to keep peace in Kosovo....roughly 3,000 folks.  

Peacekeeping operation, that has run for 23 years.

Around 30 countries, at various times have contributed to the force.

So in the past month or two....Serbs in Kosovo....have been on an aggressive trend.  In the past week....25 KFOR guys were injured in a street fight situation.

Ethnic troubles?  More or less.  

Size of Kosovo playing into this?  Alabama as an example is 12 times the size of Kosovo.....so you could have one single town go crazy, and create a national mess.

While vacationing in Dubrovnik a couple of years ago, they offered up a tour in Kosovo. I ended up on a pretty forgettable 15-hour tour (on a bus with no suspension), with a Croatian guide. Number of Brits in the group, and the question continually came up....why is Kosovo so fu**ed-up? Guide pretty much cited over 100 decent reasons for it's shi#hole status.

At the end, I regarded this as the worst one-day tour in my life.
