The ultimate in supporting the troops
I knew the European countries tend to be looser with the rules they place on their soldiers while deployed. For example, while American soldiers are forbidden from drinking alcohol in Kuwait and Iraq, many of our Coalition partners have thrown that concept out the window and their troops can drink regularly.
In the case of Holland, however, they’ve taken morale and recreation activities to a whole new level, or so a female politician in that country is suggesting. From Ananova:
A top female politician ín Holland wants Dutch prostitutes sent abroad with the troops to help them relax.
Annemarie Jorritsma, a politician for the centre-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and the mayor of the town of Almere, went on national Dutch TV to demand the ‘extra benefits’ for soldiers.
She added: “The army must think about how their soldiers can let off some steam.”
The ideas has been backed by the Dutch sex workers union which said it thought the idea had some merit.
But an unnamed military spokesman, quoted in the ‘Volkskrant’ newspaper, expressed reservations.
He said: “I don’t think my wife would like the idea very much.”
Hmm, I don’t think my wife would have like the idea very much either…
