| Public shames Czechs into staying in Kuwait |
| 2003-01-24 |
| Czech soldiers who accepted an offer to return home from Kuwait if they "did not feel ready" for a US-led war against Iraq have come in for huge public criticism. 1989 is sufficiently recent that the Czech's have not yet become Europeanized. The army reports that soldiers, stung by the reaction, are volunteering by the dozen and another 130 will be on their way to Kuwait this weekend. It is possible that this Chem Warfare unit will make a greater contribution to the US led effort than the French Army would have were it on our side. |

| #3 I think that's because they know what it's like to be stepped on for about 50 years. I think we'll see a big rethink on European foreign policy when this thing is over with now that we know who are friends really are. |

| #2 Well, one member of "New Europe", at least, is behind us. Welcome aboard, comrades. |

| #1 The Czech Soldiers that comprise the Recon/Decon unit with us here are some of the most well trained, motivated, and professional NBC operators I've ever served with. If Sammy starts shooting his Poopie-Stinkie Missiles at us (BIG Oops for him) or the citizens of Kuwait(International BIG Oops), I know they will be on point to execute their mission without hesitation. These soldiers are world famous in the NBC Circles. I'm personally and professionally glad they are stationed with us here. War out |
