Dutch courage
Kip at Abu Muqawama:
In a story that Kip somehow missed this weekend, the son of the Dutch Chief of Defense--the senior military post in the country--was killed in action on Saturday by a Taliban-laid IED.
In response to the attack, the Army union in the Netherlands called for the deployment of more troops to the country.
I am sad for our ally, and encouraged by the response of the "Army union" in the Netherlands. As the post points out, we and our allies are thin on the ground in Afghanistan. We need more soldiers with full capacity and authorization to engage the enemy.
