Dutch army to be further cut.

Dutch army to be more cutted

Various Dutch political parties, including the Socialists, Labour, Green and Animal Parties, want to cut more into our Defence Forces. While our Christian, Liberal and Conservative parties don't want to. The Dutch army already had a large blow to it's army capablities with the removal of the Leopard 2 tank in our army. Further cuts would definitly hurt our capabilities.

What is MP.net's opinion about this?

There were excercises in Scotland and you had those excercises with them? My father was in the Dutch army from '81 to '99, and he never had training in Scotland, only Sailsbury, but again, he was in the Cav.

Simple, all possible NATO enemies.

Other than someone in Venezuela going nuts it is mostly about keeping our supply lines open and NATO ops.

Haven't you heard? NATO has no enemies (a few hapless targets maybe...).

That's why I said all possible ​NATO allies.

I see, and were the Dutch also better in other things except whining? ie shooting or something? :P

I'm planning to join the Dutch Army.

There is nobody on this planet that can possibly pose a credible threat to NATO (I don't think aliens will land anytime soon either).
