"Running in" is good, but take care of men.

Break-in is good

probably the only units that have enough work at home. The Caucasus will also be cleared in 100 years.

So the use in running-in, especially sappers, is doubtful. But guys are needed there - that's why they are there

I read somewhere that in 1943 the Germans, Croats and Romanians captured in Stalingrad were forced to clear the territory of the city with dragons

We are waiting for you - hurry the horses!
In the good hour, in the good hour, in the good hour!
Let the fair winds not beat, and caress your back.
And then come back soon!
Willows cry for you
And without your smiles, the mountain ash pales and dries.

Let's hope this is the last time Palmyra needs mine.

Let's hope that this is generally the last trip of our sappers to Syria since the Syrians must clear their cities themselves and ours only act as instructors teaching them.
Sappers arrived in Syria to re-mine Palmyra.
