    Today, the soldiers from team 10, who just came home from Helmand, paraded through Copenhagen.



    A few idiots staged a demonstration against the parade. As far as I know, they weren't enough to seriously disturb the parade, though.

    Glad they are home, and that the demonstration didnt interrupt their home-coming parade.

    As far as I know this pedestrian street has heat panels under the concrete

    You can actually see the protesters in the back ground, on the right side of the fountain, holding up signs...

    Chief of Army Operational Command, Major General Agner Rokos. He's an exceptional officer.

    Thanks for the heads up mate, just had a read of his bio I found on a google search
    http://www.jftc.nato.int/Organization/CV_MG_Rokos.pdf

    I think the link is 5 years old, maybe from a previously held position. seems like a top bloke

    Let me say it this way: I don't get nervous around Rokos, he makes you feel at ease, and he's good at talking to the soldiers. It's a totally different story with the chief of defence, General Bartels!

    Rokos is a top bloke. My old battalion commander from Bosnia. Got him among my facebook friends.
    Loves "stegt flæsk og persillesovs" !
