What being molded in centuries of constant war does to your military culture, even after 200 years of peace.
You can blame a lot of people but not our troops. They were just following orders. The people you need to get are the UN command and our government
Dutch were fucking cowards and I am ashamed to say the Swedes (before Muhammedisation) showed courage when it was needed and did the right thing.
I’ll point it out again because people clearly haven’t fucking read on what the actual situation was
The Dutch were completely unable to do anything even if they got involved, it was a dammed if you do dammed if you dont situation. Hard to defeat Serbian ARMOURED VEHICLES when you don’t have any anti tank weapons let alone the fact they hadn’t had food for days. If it’s anyone’s fault it’s the fucking UN
You are going to protect us right? Against who, Balkans?
Our soldiers could have done more, and it would’ve been good PR for our country if those young men died fighting but nothing more, or maybe a show of resistance would’ve just sent the Serbs on their way when the pickings wouldn’t seem so easy.
The commander did what he did to protect the lives of his men, trying to be rational. He might have been pressured to do so but it was idiotic to be shown fraternizing with Ratko fucking Mladic.
Our government is I think the only party that can unilaterally be held responsible on the side of the “good guys” for putting our guys in a position where victory would be impossible.
UN has stupid rules of engagement.
NATO is very much to blame for not providing air support.
The Serbs don’t need elaborating.
The Bosnian militants would’ve done well not to use a UN safe haven as an outpost and provoke Serbs into attacking.
Americans and English promised us air support be decided amongst themselves before hand that they would not help at all. If the dutchbatters stayed at Srebrenica they would have all been dead. Great allies.
Who’s talking about heroic actions? There is a difference between not doing anything and actively handing over civilians to be slaughtered. And this was proven by your very own Hoge Raad der Nederlanden. Just continue deflecting. The Dutch SOF from Roosendaal were quite competent and the ones I talked to about this never came up with excuses.
Just accept the shit your cowardly soldiers did and move on.
Huh, how many swampthings crawling out and not owning up their fuckup.

What conflict is this even about?
Man, I love reading all the triggered reactions from my fellow Dutchies. This country has a serious fuckin issue when it comes to acknowledging the dark pages of its history, or even present for that matter.
Hey OP, make a post about how the Dutch tried to reimpose their colonial rule over Indonesia after they where liberated in WW2. We did absolutly NOT commit war crimes over there, no sir. They were simple Policing Actions!

For the Dutchies here. If they are seperating men from women and children that is often not a good sign.
