If not, then we definitely trained them. And trained them well, by the looks of it.

Yup. All they need now is the snow plough to break down and then find that they don't have the correct replacement parts for the job. It'll be made by a company which has since gone under.

I have it on good authority (The Inguirer) that
Danish intelligence (non sequitur?) had obtained reports that clearly indicated that Saddam Hussein was attempting to acquire new weapons of mass destruction - namely massive stockpiles of snow!

The Danes had learned that Hussein was planning to launch a massive snowball assualt on the southern Shiite population - potentially freezing out all non-Sunni opposition.

Considering the potential devastation - a chilling prospect indeed - the Danes may well have averted another butt-ugly genocide.



But Officer, I wasn't speeding - I was qualifying ...

Jake:

Just so we're clear:

The Danes aren't the Dutch

Dane <- Denmark (sometimes Dänemark, or Danmark, ect.)
Dutch <- Holland (The Netherlands)

Because of the regression and our stupid government we are currently cutting the costs. They also decided to cut the army costs.

Therefore they decided to send 1100 Dutch soldiers as peace force to Iraq (300 left yesterday to Kuwait as preperation)... this to get rid of personal.

I hope you guys already know that as average one soldier of the allied forces dies each day and that currently the moral of atleast the US troops is very low.

A Dutchman telling us what US troop morale is. That's a good one. What I hear indicates the opposite. And a few of my coworkers are over there, sending e-mail back here every now and then. How many US troops in Iraq have YOU been communicating with direcly, Svol? Zero? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Well that is what we read in the newspapers now we're sending our own soldiers.

How many different batalions did you talk too, and where are they stationed? Not much different, ey? I think the journalist have a better view on the whole situation... and maybe the soldiers aren't allowed to post back any negative news. You never know.

Two are Army Reserve, I think. Don't remember the third at the moment. You think the journalists know better than the soldiers themselves? Whatever, man.

They've talked generally about things are going, without giving any specific stuff. Like I'd recognize half the names of crap over there, anyway. Spoke about morale being pretty good, expecially given the circumstances.

I think the journalist have a better view on the overal moral (so not just one army division) throughout the whole country.

Where are they stationed anyway... I don't hope around Bagdad because it is pretty crappy there.
