The usual dilemma - whether to read the other posts first. Didn't.
Wrote clues, then read. Bummer. Total waste of time.
All beaten out by:
clax @2 - two soldiers ...
susan @4 & mrw @14 - Large police car? (5,5)
BBM2 @10 - I just used the first four words.
paul @18 !!
This is uncanny. Maybe I'm psychic in a retrospective way. (-;
It helps to be early.
