Up from the Slime










Evolution isn't done with us yet... unless we give in to the conceit that we've already achieved perfection.

On patrol with UNIFIL



The patrol comes across Lebanese workmen resurfacing a route often used by the Leclerc tanks. They are outside the village now, so soldiers have donned flack jackets and carry their weapons.

Algerian-born soldier Rachide Tifaoui speaks to the Lebanese workmen in Arabic, but their two dialects are very different and it takes a while to get the information the patrol needs.

Gee, I hope the UNIFIL commanders are bright enough and clear-eyed enough to use a magnetometer to look for mines buried under that nice new tarmac.
