The Dutch have a military?!?

I'd suggest you Ingest fecal matter and expire, Cryo.

I couldn't give a shit less if you're irritated. I tried to care for like half a femto second, but just couldn't quite get there... If you're BSing your way across the thread, then I'm going to call it. The thread is called "useless facts" not "useless bullshit by The Prick known as CryoDragoon". Facts are Facts, regardless of how much that might irritate you.

Yeah, the Dutch have an airforce. Or at least, they had an airforce. Then the rubber-band broke.

But during their peak, they had the power to make an elementary school wrestling team surrender. They are now working on a secret rubberband that will allow them to take over a desert island in the middle of one of their crippled citizens' ponds.

I understand the secret (printed world-wide) "ingredient" in their "secret" rubberband is lead.

Yeah, and 213 F-16 Falcons or something.

Don't scare our military like that!

Oh yeah! It was really too bad the Dutch had to leave Iraq in June, wasn't it?

The Dutch were unbelievably rich and powerful just a couple hundred years ago, while America was in diapers. They practically owned all of Southeast Asia and were the only western contact the Japanese would have during their isolationism. They birthed New York, when it was still New Amsterdam.

So what, they were late to air war because they were neutral in WWI, which made their proximity to Germany in WWII that much more unspeakably bloody. But their colonial navy was instrumental in Allied victory.

Now, their total GDP is 18th on the planet, not far behind Australia, and 15th per capita. Who's going to push them around?

By the way, do you own shares in a company? You can thank the Dutch for that.

I didn't say they suck in EVERY way. And, well, okay... Their military is bad ass. Just kidding.

Amsterdam is an awesome city, and so forth. I am saving up money for a trip to Holland right now, as a matter of fact. But if you really want to talk about Dutch history, don't leave out the fact that they started the African slave trade. Besides, man, lighten up. Jokes about the Dutch military are totally warranted when one of their citizens gets an attitude on the internet.

Lighten up? I can't lighten up about useless facts.

And I'm a Dutch uncle.

Who would gladly go Dutch before committing the Dutch act in a revelry of Dutch courage after sleeping with a Dutch wife.

When I was in kindergarten, my usual teacher went on vacation for an entire school week, so we had a substitute fill in. That lady, for some reason, spent the entire week teaching us about Holland. I don't think she taught us any spelling our counting, just Holland. She kept playing this song that says, "I am a funny little Dutch girl, as funny as funny can be. And all the boys around my house sing pretty little songs to me." I don't know what the name of the song is, but that is the entire song, and that lady made us listen to it over and over and over, all day. She also made us take turns dancing to it in wooden shoes. Maybe she was born in Holland and had a bone to pick with the United States? I have never heard that song at any time except for that five day period of my life, but I still can't get it out of my head. It is one of my weirdest childhood memories. Even though I want to go to Holland now, if I hear that damn song while walking through a store or something, I'm walking out and going straight to the airport.
