Yes it was as are all the surrounding countries...I was fortunate to have been in most of them on ops (usually in the dark though).

One of my team is/was a historian, his hobby is studying battlefields and tactics...he was a wealth of knowledge when we were there.

The closest I got to skirmishes was watching the Serbs and Croats use the mountains to set up little incursions in one another. Shoot and run. Shoot and run. Use the borders as an out to of bounds rule. It was like kids play war games. Except these had actual real weapons.

The most ironic part was both sides would come into to Budapest on weekends and go drink together in the bars.

They would literally check their rifles and go in and go drinking.

My team and I got up close and personal with combatants in many Baltic countries, our mission was intel gathering but as you know, sometimes we had to fight our way out....

When we followed behind many units and saw the level of death they brought to civilians, it was staggering. Sadly we were not allowed to catch and eliminate these units.

Kosovo was down and dirty at times...

Like I said. It's beautiful there. I'm glad you have those hostilities behind you.

Amen to that!
