Dutch military budget |
|
For years the Dutch government has been decreasing the budget for the army. Over the last weeks more and more critics and complaints are passed on to the ministry of defence that there is not enough money anymore to perform the basic military tasks. There are even soldiers that complain about the lack of ammunition when they are on a mission. Reporter Antoine Mouteau interviews the chairman of the Dutch federation of military personnel stating that it is very severe and highly dangerous to be out of ammunition during a mission. He also does an anonymous interview with a Dutch soldier that is very unhappy with the current situation and a specialist of the Dutch institute of international relations Clingendael. Video Link!
