Singer James Blunt has told the BBC how he refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British soldier in Kosovo.Blunt said he was willing to risk a court martial by rejecting the order from a US General.

But he was backed by British Gen Sir Mike Jackson, who said: "I'm not going to have my soldiers be responsible for starting World War III."

Blunt was ordered to seize an airfield, but the Russians had got there first.

In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live, broadcast on Sunday, he said: "I was given the direct command to overpower the 200 or so Russians who were there.

Thanks for this thread, now that song is in a constant loop in my head.

/slit wrists

Yeah, she caught my eye,

As we walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was,

fuging high,

And I don't think that I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that will last till the end

love it.
