The Dutch government and parliament have decided to send 1200 more troops to the war zone in Afghanistan. The majority of the population does not support this decision.
Xinhua: "A memory stick containing files on the Dutch military mission to Afghanistan was lost just as the Parliament is set to give the go ahead for the deployment, local TV RTL reported on Thursday.
The confidential information concerns the rules of engagement for Dutch troops in Afghanistan and the personal protection of Dutch Defense Minister Henk Kamp.
A captain in the Air Force, who had spent five months in Afghanistan, left the unencrypted USB stick in a rented car two weeks ago."
The Dutch authorities can't even prevent 'No Toking' signs from being stolen in Amsterdam.
So how can we expect the Dutch troops to guarantee law and order in Afghanistan, or not to lose their choppers?
One word of advice to our brave soldiers: Watch out for your American friends.
