Good to know Europe is well protected.

They march like they're wearing boots that are too small. Man, they are BAD. Not even on our first day in Basic Training were we that bad. But did you see all the medals on the first guy the fat one? I didn't know that they gave medals at McD's.

Well that explains why they get over run in every major war. It must take them forever to deploy.

OMG that is bad.

I remember a NATO mine warfare conference where the Germans and Dutch were squabbling (they always squabbled over who was to sweep the approaches to the Rhine) and the Belgian Officer was basically being a butt about everything. Finally the senior member, a Brit captain, asked the Belgian, “Refresh my memory, please, Jean-Francois. How many wars have Belgium won?”

It’s hard to understand why Belgium even exists as a country. There is no Belgian language. There is no Belgian history until the nation was created in the 1830s. In a rational world, the country would be split up between the Netherlands and France.

Belgium exists so that Britain has an excuse to get involved in every squabble between France and Germany.

I marched like that once. Drunk at Myrtle Beach my senior year of high school, a group of us decided to walk 5 miles on the beach from our resort to downtown. We would go in the ocean occasionally, so basically walking 5 miles in wet shorts. The resulting thigh rash made me walk just like that.

The dude in the middle of the front row is walking like someone shoved a corn cob up his bunghole.

I though Belguim was a rest station for the German army.

The Kalergi Plan is working very well in Europe. There is no pride in country. Europe is over and finished in 25 years.

Don't count on it
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
 When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved, 
They were icy-willing to wait 
Till every count should be proved, 
Ere the English began to hate. 

Their voices were even and low, 
Their eyes were level and straight. 
There was neither sign nor show, 
When the English began to hate. 

It was not preached to the crowd, 
It was not taught by the State. 
No man spoke it aloud, 
When the English began to hate. 

It was not suddenly bred, 
 It will not swiftly abate, 
Through the chill years ahead, 
When Time shall count from the date 
That the English began to hate.

The Belgians only claim to fame are their waffles. They certainly have a worse war records than even France.

They still have great beer there though. I don't really like Brussels but Bruges is pretty cool.

They may be awful at marching but they are good at brewing beer
