A Soldier's Civic Duty?: Playing mayor and other things in the Balkans.(US military presence in Kosovo and surrounding areas)
Witness the marvel of the American military, the best trained and equipped fighting force in the world. When on duty in Kosovo, First Sergeant William Burns led a weekly meeting in the town of Pones, a village where violence against ethnic Albanians during the war had been relatively light, but where the majority Albanians had murdered five Serbs in revenge. Hate, of course, is not a family value, nor one that the United States will tolerate in the Balkans. Hence, Burns's weekly meetings. As reported in Foreign Affairs magazine, the confabs were part encounter session, part pep talk, meant once and for all to get the Albanians and Serbs in Pones to get along.
