An Army buddy of mine (who’s still in) is stationed in Brussels with NATO. He was recently traveling from Paris to Brussels by rail (in uniform) with a group of American, French and British Army officers. He happened to notice a group of youths lounging nearby, with a large green flag sporting a star and crescent hanging behind them. One of the French Army officers explained that certain sections of various train stations, including the Paris Metro and Gare du Nord, had been taken over by muslim youths. While they were speaking, one of these youths smiled at my buddy and then drew his thumb across his throat in a slitting gesture.
