The Dutch are down to a few dozen Leopard 2 tanks and F-16’s.

That ain’t on Jeanine, the Dutch have always been a weak link in NATO.

They’re actually unionized. And back when long hair on men was in style in the 70’s they issued men hairnets.

Every day I see more insanity/stupidity. This is why the Muslims are going to take over Europe. They have become so complacent that they have lost their ability to think critically.

I’m not sure who the second woman is

I think the second woman from the left is Karin Enström, who was Swedish Minister for Defense from 2012 to 2014. So the picture is correct as of 2014, but not as of now.

Different breed of male and female leaders these days.
I’d completely support the likes of 1980’s era Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Margaret Thatcher running national defense.
Unfortunately, few women or men today possess their character and strength.
Why this so obvious to us and the silent majority of citizens?

The Muzzies have the problem with the extreme inbreeding.
That tends to hamper ones ability to think - period.

I guess that when someone in the military of these 4 nations says, "F the Minister" that it could have 2 different meanings. In all seriousness, I think that the trend over the last generation to put women in important positions BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMEN is a gigantic mistake. Much of the rest of the world views women as weak and easily taken advantage of - and they're not wholly wrong (given that women have a far different emotional outlook on life than men). How did it work out having April Glasby as Ambassador to Iraq? I'll tell you how it worked out: 500,000 men and most of the front-line equipment of this nation got shipped to the Mideast to give Saddam a big spanking...ALL OF WHICH WAS AVOIDABLE is only some nasty SOB who didn't take crap from anyone had been the ambassador instead.

Meanwhile, at least the Russkies still have their heads screwed on straight.

Oh, FYI, this is a perfect example of why not to nominate iCarly or to allow the Hildabitch to get elected - NOBODY will take them seriously, and to be taken seriously they will have to literally go to war. Sorry, but having a nation go to war just to prove that a woman is just as capable as a man is not worth it.

Russia is a bit different as defense ministers have traditionally been active duty military officers heavily promoted by the military/security forces (Silovik). Even many deputies in the Duma are serving officers. (Goes back to the time when most noble men were trained as officers.)

Their special forces guys are not too shabby

They saved me and my petite doe eyed Colombian girlfriends asses from Brit Navy chavs in Orangestaad in 1990

100s of hooligans trying to assault her and just me and her American half brother staring them down as they hurled vile crap her way and circled us

And harassed everyone

Cops were powerless but when the Korps Commandotroepen and Korps Mariners from the local Dutch base streamed in it was over

A sea of big burly long haired guys with heavy full brush beards and mustaches in cammo and various berets

Teal black and maroon

All with the gold cap badge

Very professional acting even if scruffy in appearance

It was big incidence Brit Navy brass made public apology in the paper

I kept think where are their officers?

Yep..... got a few more cords of hickory and oak to top off that already stacked. New km2 tires on the 4x4’s and chains an tow straps put back in the trucks for the winter. Ice Melt and deicer sprays handy along with the shovel .....

Thing is we get nothing at all or 3 feet at once when it snows here.

Bed tanks are full on each truck as well for added weight.

I’m ready....... (I think :o)
