Ruud Vermeulen, Chairman of the Officers’ Association says
that Dutch politicians knowingly have taken irresponsible risks which have
endangered the lives of military personnel.
He said that politicians are always quick to judge others but it would
be better if they became aware and looked at their own functioning. He mentioned inter alia among others former
Labour Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bert Koenders (Labour), who neglected the
criticism of the commandos concerning the possibility of executing the mission
in Mali. Koenders remarked, “We decide what you must execute or not.” The
officers require a parliamentary inquiry into the many problems in the military.
