In the interview, Pronk said the Dutch commander in Bosnia should have been instructed to defend the Muslims who had fled to the U.N. compound for shelter from a Serb onslaught during the violent breakup of Yugoslavia.

Instead, the Dutch troops allowed Bosnian Serb General Radko Mladic to evacuate the Muslims, accepting his assurances they would be escorted to safety.

Maybe next time the Dutch should find a commander who can think, or else they should go back to growing tulips and leave the fighting to real soldiers.. Where did the Dutch officers keep their brains stored? In the Hague?

Hey, Zulu, in history, the Dutch have done just fine in the military department.

The question you posed I could have asked about our own military that ran from Lebanon after the terrorists killed hundreds of their (our) own.
