It was finances by the army as a recruitment tool and to save on training costs, that's why

If you want realistic they should have put IEDs and PTSS in it.

The Netherlands now has to spend 5% of GDP on the military which is doable- recruiting fools is the hard part in a country with free university and a functioning welfare system.

IIRC the sniper course in AA had IED disposal (via anti material rifle) in it as one of the major components for passing.

But yea it was very much a rah-rah-go-Army game, nothing about the aftermath.

Glad to know I was a fool for ever joining the military...

I remember sitting in the prison...

I felt so cool after passing Sniper School, then you could pick that role in matches.

The training course to sneak past behind enemy lines for the SF role was the hardest, lol.
