Heh.  I remember being told a story about some Serbs guarding a bridge
who took a pot shot at some French Foreign Legion troops and _hit_
one...

Next morning that entire group of Serbs woke up unexpectedly dead.

Of course, the FFL didn't know anything about it, no-one snuck through
their lines or anything...

I have no idea if this is true or not, but it's an interesting story.
