...Sergeant First Class Barry Rather -"Barbarian Four"- was in a tank thirty meters away from Mitchell. "We got white trucks. There's a bunch of people in them. They've moved to the right and moved behind that building about half a click away at two o'clock...
...Melendez gave the tanks permission to fire. The lead tank, "Barbarian 2," acknowledged - that tank is headed by Sergeant Al Wallace, 28, who back in Kuwait decorated his 120 mm barrel with the moniker "Baghdad beware". At 10:29 am just as a figure appeared on the roof of the distant bungalow, Barbarian 2's barrel exploded like a bomb. A cloud of dust enveloped the tank as 60 tons of Abrams recoiled across the road.

...although it no longer smells like a barbarian outhouse, it will take a lot more than a serious scrub to save the ancient fortress. Time has finally caught up with the jewel of Rajasthan. The great, golden sand castle shimmering across the Thar Desert is on the brink of collapse. For centuries its sandstone walls have housed what is still one of the world's few inhabited forts, and is home to some 2,000 people. But since its heyday in the 16th and 17th centuries, when it was the last filling station for colossal caravans traveling the Silk Route...
