"[In the spring of 1998] in Djakarta, Indonesia's army stepped in to quell a clash between government supporters and student protesters who had been occupying Parliament. About 100 soldiers laid down their rifles, marched between the two sides and broke into a musical performance. The troops sat in a circle as about 20 soldiers stepped into the center and announced they were going to sing an old Javanese song. They invited protesters to join in.

"As their comrades clapped in time and sang along, the soldiers wearing camouflage and bayonets on their belts high-stepped, swayed and strutted with a precision rivaling hip-hop videos, and sang: 'Goodbye my love. Goodbye my love. When will I see you again?'

One flag-waving student joined in, attempting to imitate the soldiers' moves. The crowd sang along. After three numbers, the soldiers picked up their guns and stood guard once again. They had relieved tensions on all sides."
