    and nothing as really moved

    That is not quite correct as the dutch forces are fully integrated into the german Bundeswehr’s command structure.

    Yes, it’s not a whole lot but it shows some progress around the corner.

      It IS a whole lot and a very strong sign of trust that had to be earned.

      The military is one of the most intimate things of a nation and what happened here is a very good sign that hopefully sets an example for others.
