Afstan: Hookers for the Hollanders?

A female Dutch mayor thinks troop morale might be improved by Netherlands nookie (via Spotlight on Military News and International Affairs).

A Dutch mayor has raised eyebrows by backing the idea of sending prostitutes to accompany Dutch troops on foreign missions.

"The army must consider ways its soldiers can let off steam," Annemarie Jorritsma, mayor of the town of Almere in central Netherlands and a member of the ruling VVD liberals, told Dutch television.

"There was once the suggestion that a few prostitutes should accompany troops on missions. I think that is something we should talk about," she said, adding that the prostitutes would keep soldiers from turning to local women...

Sounds like the right sort of idea to encourage the French to join the fighting in the south.
