This is so absurd:

"A retired U.S. general's claim that gay Dutch soldiers were partly to blame for allowing Europe's worst massacre since World War II has sparked outrage in the Netherlands.

Retired Gen. John Sheehan on Thursday told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing in Washington, D.C., that gay soldiers weakened the Dutch army, which failed to prevent Serb forces massacring some 8,000 Muslim men in the Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica in July 1995."

Carl Levin, chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Armed Services Committee, asked: “Did the Dutch leaders tell you it was because there were gay soldiers there?”

“Yes, they did. They included that as part of the problem,” Sheehan said, according to a webcast on the website of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“That there were gay soldiers?” Levin then asked.

“That the combination was the liberalisation of the military, a net effect was basically social engineering.”

I'm confused. He said it was the Dutch leaders that told him that.

The way that was phrased made it sound like he took the answers he got from the Dutch out of context.

I means... we are talking about a country's military where Canadian soldiers would joke that the Dutch commandos were used in Afghanistan to root the Taliban out of marijuana fields...
 
One sign of toxic leadership is the need to have a scapegoat to blame.
 
Danged gays! They are responsible for all the world's evils. (for those who don't recognize my sarcasm, I am kidding!)
