| #4 Unfortunately they Dutch military are no longer in southern Afghanistan The Jihad ain't over until it's over, and I suspect the next generation of Dutchmen will be involved one way or the other. |

| #2 Having known some Dutchmen, this would be a hit recruiting video back home. The soldiers have "everyman" Dutch speech and mannerisms, yet what they are doing is superhero stuff as far as most Dutch people are concerned. Totally cool. Sex symbol. Unfortunately they Dutch military are no longer in southern Afghanistan, and they will only be sending police there from now on. |

| #1 I'm struck by the differences between US Soldiers and these Dutch Soldiers. I mean no slight to the Dutch but...They seem very unsure, uncoordinated, and unprepared for this action. It goes to show the benefits of actual combat experience, I suppose. Orion |
