[Shake n Bake]

Children with flags lined 2 1/2 miles on both sides of the road to pay their respect.

YOu guys are so patriotic, nobody here in Belgium would ever do something like that. Maybe because most belgians don't really care for their country.

Thanks alot EU for trying to destroy national cultures.

It's been a while since any Belgium soldier lost his life in a war, right?

Who´s talking about "war"?

There are soldiers dying without being in a war.

Look at the bomb blasts in Afghanistan / ISAF.

Two National Guardmen in my state killed in 5-ton truck accident right in my state. One NG die in Iraq. Guess who gets a bigger funeral?

Of course soldiers die every day without going to war, but so are the civilians.

Uhm I believe some paras died while they were on a mission to Africa, but that's been couple of years. Dont think wel ost any soldiers in Kosovo or Afghanistan

I mean the difference between a real war and the current services like ISAF.
