Dutch jurist accuses Ministry of Defense of ignoring sick soldiers



Ferre van de Nadort, a former Dutch soldier and jurist, claims that the Dutch army ignores sick soldiers.  When he was in the army he worked in the legal department and dealt with cases where soldiers became ill because of contact with asbestos and chrome 6 paint.  He says that open air burning of waste at army camps (burnpits) may have caused damage to soldiers.  He has established a website where soldiers can complain about illnesses possibly resulting from their army service.  So far, he has received hundreds of complaints.
