Are the Dutch going out on missions or are they eating cheese and drinking wine with the continential Europeans such as the Germans, the French, the Spaniards in Kabul?
The 12 Dutch soldiers that were killed didn’t choke on cheese. And any real Dutchman will tell you that you don’t drink wine with cheese, but beer, preferably a Heineken or Grolsch.
by all accounts the dutch are performing very well indeed in their area of interest. It is a compact and hardhitting force, and has been involved in some fairly heavy fighting against the Taliban.
