In 1969, I was on NATO maneuvers in Grafenwoher, Germany with Operation
Reforger One and even back then, the Dutch Army was noted for it's
"relaxed" attitude. Their soldiers had hair down to their shoulders
and they were openly smoking weed on duty. Their scores during the
maneuvers were terrible and they really didn't care. Alright, so they
allow gays to serve openly now too, but the General didn't provide enough
details about the incident for me to draw conclusions. (for instance were
they having an orgy when they should have been posting a guard mount?)
Just because the Dutch and some others may allow "open serving" that does
not mean we have to do the same. I for one am totaly opposed to the repeal
of "DADT" because of the negative impact it would have on morale, especially
in garrison status. BTW, I'm not under any obligation to go along with
something just because some of the liberals think it's such a wonderful
idea. Carl Levin has never been in the military and has no perception
whatsoever of what he speaks.
