The B&R light tanks were the scout vanguard. The full column, which included American troops, had been held up by Serbian army roadblocks. Blunt told me they were confident they COULD still have taken the airport. "We were good. And we had the Norwegians [The FSK]. They were bloody terrifying."

You can read my full account of what actually happened at Pristina Airport below. It covers what Blunt's actual role in it was which is more conplex and, if anything, more impressive than the myths around that crisis actually make out. (it also goes a long way to explain why Putin is how he is)

spoke to Blunt years ago when i was writing about the Pristina airport incident. Was genuinely struck by the level of moral clarity he had. Dude was very clearly prepared to face a court martial, rather than follow what he felt was an illegal and immoral attack order from an (American) general.

Ian McKellen reciting Shakespeare's writing on racist anti-immigration riots in London during his time. It is excellent. They have been banging the same drum for 400 years.
