Great work Mr. Yon, but I have to protest at your exclusion of Poland from the list. Casting no aspersions on the Dutch, but in Iraq they lost two men; Poland commanded an entire sector, its troops engaged in numerous fire fights with the Sadr Army and other bad guys and they lost 21. Poland has 1,200 combat troops in Afghanistan, including special forces who sent with specific intention to “do some serious killing” (see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1831548/posts and http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d98_1195190409).

Our most loyal ally on the European continent, soon to be sold to Russia. Maybe Obama and Medvedev can meet at Yalta to sign the deal.
