I had been meaning to verify that for some time now. It sounded a bit strange and I never made the connection until last night. And I worked in military intelligence for four years

I know. Nevertheless, it was the most interesting four years of my time in the navy. I was part of the "foreign naval potential" department and apart from the obvious, I also learned a lot of background info about the countries I worked on.
Same with my time in Kosovo. I went away from that with the conviction that that sorry excuse for a country should never have become independent. The whole "elite" of that country was and largely still is a bunch of organized crime kingpins, terroists and murderers, sometimes all three at once.
