Rest in Peace my boy,you have done your country Proud.Jesus will now look after you.From Richard Sloof,formerly of Rotterdam Holland Now in Australia,and Ex=Commando Australian Army 1st Commando regiment. By Rick Sloof | September 7, 2009 10:09 PM Another young life pointlessly wasted on Bush's mission of revenge, another family shattered. Why is the Netherlands in Afghanistan anyway? As far as I'm aware, there's no oil to steal. By tommyrot | September 7, 2009 11:18 PM RIP brave soldier.However, before more of our youth will be killed, we should look who was funding the terrorists some years ago from the other side of the ocean.
