I spent two months with the Dutch Army in the late 70’s as part of a NATO Interoperability exercise. They were unionized at the time and looked like a band of hippies. They were technically proficient but I wondered about their war fighting abilities.

Thanks for confirming my memory. Always nice when that happens!

Technical proficiency goes a long way in modern warfare, but it certainly isn’t everything, is my take.
