General John Sheehan blames Dutch sodomites!
I love it when people tell it like it is, and call a spade a spade.
Of course, one has to wonder why on earth you'd want to defend a few sand dwellers. 
Srebrenica is probably somewhere in Arabia, isn't it?
Still: proof positive that allowing queers into the army turns all your troops into limp wristed poofters who giggle when they see a gun.
Thank you Sir Sheehan!
Retired US general John Sheehan links Srebrenica genocide to gays in Dutch UN troops
THE Netherlands has rejected a retired US general's claim that Dutch UN troops failed to prevent the 1995 Srebrenica genocide because their ranks included openly gay soldiers.
``It is astonishing that a man of his stature can utter such complete nonsense,'' defence ministry spokesman Roger van de Wetering told AFP.
John Sheehan, a former NATO commander and senior Marine officer, made the remarks at a Senate hearing where he argued against plans by President Barack Obama to end a ban on allowing gays to serve openly in the US military.
``The case in point that I'm referring to is when the Dutch were required to defend Srebrenica against the Serbs,'' he said, referring to the UN peacekeeping force deployed to protect Bosnian Muslim civilians.
``The Srebrenica massacre and the involvement of UN soldiers was extensively investigated by the Netherlands, international organisations and the United Nations. Never was there in any way concluded that the sexual orientation of soldiers played a role,'' said Van de Wetering.
Sheehan claimed that Dutch leaders, including the former chief of staff of the Dutch army, had told him that the presence of gay soldiers had contributed to the fall of Srebrenica.
