Unless you bring a French, German or Canadian army with you I wouldn´t give you much of a chance (and since we´re allied with all of them now...), even though our army has budgetcut its tanks, we´ve got like one sub left, and with the continuous price inflation of the JSF fighter we won´t be able to afford 65 of them to replace the ones we have now. 
Indeed. Most of the coastline provinces area is made up of ´polder´ - which makes it somewhat doubtful as a tourist interest, as they are mostly comprised of square agricultural tracts of land. (Only becomes something of interest fom an aerial point of view, I imagine.)
Actually, I started out eating fries with salt only, but that´s just because I´m weird.

oh yes, as a strike force they aren't top notch. However they are perfect for intel gathering missions. Due to their size they can operate close to shore for a lengthier time.

So we have a top notch submarine intel force. Good for us.
wouldn't using dutch "backpackers" be cheaper... they actually can get closer to the shore...
A rather plain question:
What do you guys think about Gauck speaking at the Bevrijdingsdag? What do people in the Netherlands in general think about that (both the fact that he was invited and the contents of the actual speach)? Was the speach any good (i only listend to a fraction of it)?

I personally think it´s a good thing that the German president can hold a speech on a Dutch WW II liberation day... but, given the reactions in the media it seems that WW II related subjects still touch a nerve after so many decades. On the other hand, his emphasising European cooperation (Franco-German cooperation after WW II was in part inspired by the wish never to have a conflict like that again), while apparently adverse to those unaware what actually led to WW II, is what´s important: peaceful cooperation is what is needed - however unpopular this may be in some circles. ´Brussels´ and the European parliament may not yet be the democratic institutions they should be, but the alternative of a Europe again divided by different national ideas is what we had in pre-war years. I can´t see anyone in his right mind wishing for that. Those I´d like to remind that the EU is by far ´the lesser evil´. It seems to me that nowadays people don´t realize how well they´re off - certainly compared to the 1930s...

on a population of 17 million (16.669.112 in 2011), we have 17 million head-coaches and 18 million opinions about football.
In general Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie can count on a lot of sympathie of the fans at home.
Strange enough Clarence Seedorf cant however he is the only player in the world who won the Champions League with 3 different clubs.

It's all a cunning ruse to finally implement the 'Bakker-Shut plan'

Didn't know you had it in you to have your own ridiculous ultranationalist territorial claims 
But I thought your invasion plan entails drowning us in bikes and trailers?
