Corpman in the Navy have amazing latitude

Dutch military personel had to buy their own winter clothing for training in sweden too

we're very poor at using tax money properly

I don't remember if we had a special name for their job classification in the airforce

But they are not nurses, physicans, or pharmacists

Navy medical never even goes through basic training. We go to Officer Indoctrination School. The difference is that we're officers before we even show up. The chiefs and gunnies "sir" us even as they teach us how to wear the uniform right.

I believe the army and air Force do the same thing with thier medical officers.

Prertty crazy to think about how the Netherlands was probably the first country to elect a "populist", hate that word, leader

although he was shot and killed

won the most votes though in the election

yes

Pim Fortuyn 😦

hes so interesting

he already warned us about the immigration threat

in 2000

We had Jackson back in the 1830s

he did. he was called far right

Andrew jackson?

but he was left winged in terms of economics

Yeah

and a homosexual

didn't he start the democratic party? 😛

but in europe a lot of gays are considered "right"

Pim Fortuyn was a libertarian afaik

thought he was a socialist

Yeah. The Dems, like the US, have a lot of karma to work off

nono

im American, so when I hear libertarian I cringe

he was killed by a left-wing activist

i hate our libertarian party

ya, van der graaf

I can't take seriously anyone who talks of the gold standard

environmentalists giving up on the idea of overpopulation and population density issues has been interesting to see

Our libertarian party gets hard on it

So nope, just can't do it.

Some argued that Fortuynism was not just one ideology, but contained liberalism, populism and nationalism

could be, he was pretty dynamic it seems. very quick on his feet

like when he pissed off that imam on TV by acting flamboyant

yes

his murderer has been released like 2 years ago

and made him essentially say his he really feels. Some Islamic leaders in the Netherlands did the same about Van Gogh
