Especially two years after NATO and the KLA brought law and order, peace and prosperity, ethnic harmony and universal agape to the previously 'unruly province.' But for anyone thinking of a lucrative (with a lot of percs, few legal in one's homeland) career as a KFOR information officer, think of the challenges to a creatively-minded spinmeister. Suggested slogans, new and recycled: Freedom isn't pretty. Ask not what your narco-trafficking allies can do for you....At least some of them are still alive. We didn't lose a single soldier. It was better to stop Yugoslavia in Yugoslavia than to fight them on our beaches. We haven't lost a single soldier in Macedonia. Greece isn't worth a single American grenadier. Ah, hell, we've done our job by bombing the place, let the natives sort it out. KFOR News Update Pristina, 11 June 2001 By Maj.
