| James Blunt prevented World War 3 The battle hardened grizzly macho man and romantic singer-songwriter, James Blunt, has recently told the press about how he prevented World War III during Yugoslavia 199X by disobeying a direct command from his superiors to have his men attack the Russians. Quote: 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.

| Basically, a gungho American general wanted a British cavalry (mechanised) unit to engage a squad of Russian soldiers who had taken and were holding on to Pristina airport. Blunt refused the order and Gen. Jackson spoke-up on his behalf. At the end of the day, Blunt made the right decision no to engage the Russians. As any bloodshed would have lead to an international crisis. The Russians were also short of food and water and by nightfall handed the airport over to British forces. Though Blunt has come across as a bit of a tit with such an outrageous claim. At this rate, he'll be making a bid for the throne. See here James Blunt making a complete cunt of himself under the media spotlight. |
