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.

They may have done well historically, but they are apparently not up to prior performance here.

We have also had problems of our own. However, this last action seemed like an act of true stupidy, more in keeping with the traditions of America's beaurocracies than its military establishments. Recent episode of Elian Gonzales a perfect example.
