Dutch Army [Now VS Then]

The old footage shows the Royal Dutch East Indies Army (KNIL), not the regular Dutch Army. KNIL was not a part of the Dutch Army because it was intended for service in the colony of Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). So instead of KNIL, I think you should put the regular Dutch Army footage in first place.

Anyway, great content, and glorie aan Nederland 🇳🇱

NL:
Ik mis het oude Nederlandse leger, in deze tijd hebben we maar 50.000 man (waaronder ongeveer 9.000 reservisted) plus we hebben minutie tekort.

As a dutch person i can safely say the modern dutch army is far better equipped and able to stand up to its rivals then the one back then

Irony: they live on the hospitality of good people from the hemisphere of the equator.

The KNIL (shown in the video) was the army of their colony, the Dutch East Indies, it was a completely seperate army from the main Dutch army.

Our army has become weaker since the Cold War ended.
