Soldier in Kosovo Steps on Land Mine: CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo — POW! Sgt. Richard P. Casini knew instantly what had happened. His right foot had triggered a landmine on a routine two-man patrol about 3½ miles north of the Macedonia border on Monday. The pain: This was like nothing the 22-year-old had ever felt before. "I looked down and saw flesh and blood. I didn’t want to look again," Casini, who joined the Army three years ago to earn money for college, recalled Wednesday.
