I don't give a s**t of what you guys think or say about the Dutch troops. They did their job as they were told to do. Helping to rebuild the area where they were stationed.

In your eyes they were useless and did everything wrong. So what.
At least our country didn't invade Afghanistan without approval of the NATO.

Besides all these comments you guys make about the Dutch, it is not our country who is always late or nonwilling to pay their share in dollars to the NATO.

So if you all have so many comments on us, it would also be a good idea to sort out your own issues first.

A proud Dutch.

From the way it looks, the party who wanted the Netherlands to stay in Afghanistan is going to be in the government again. And one of the ministers has already proposed a new mission in Afghanistan. I hope the party(s) they have to govern with reject that plan.

Sorry, I'm just telling you what I saw. I have no problems with the Wooden Shoe Brigade. Not too impressed with your government, tho. But that goes without saying for a lot of countries, including my own.

According to the original plans the troops were deployed never to have a fighting agenda. Besides that, the people were told that Uruzghan was a controlled and save area for the rebuilding plans. Once there it was soon that it was far from save. Like you all heard allready, the Taliban isn't weakened at all but regain strength in the years that passed.
