Dutch 1st in NATO to quit Afghanistan	荷蘭部隊撤離阿富汗
The Netherlands became the first NATO country to end its combat mission in Afghanistan, drawing the curtain Sunday on a four-year operation that was deeply unpopular at home and even brought down a Dutch government, the AP reported. The departure of the small force of nearly 1,900 Dutch troops is not expected to affect conditions on the ground. But it is politically significant because it comes at a time of rising casualties and growing doubts about the war, even as allied troops are beginning what could be the decisive campaign of the war. Twenty-four Dutch soldiers have died in Afghanistan since the mission began in 2006. The Dutch troops will be replaced by soldiers from the U.S., Australia, Slovakia and Singapore.	美聯社報道，在駐扎阿富汗四年后，8月1日，荷蘭開始撤軍，成為第一個撤出阿富汗戰爭的北約成員國。阿富汗駐軍問題在荷蘭國內廣受質疑，最終導致荷蘭聯合政府垮臺。荷蘭駐阿部隊僅有不到1900人，其撤出并不會對阿富汗戰爭產生實質影響，但此事政治意義非同一般，因為當前正值傷亡增加，盟軍準備在質疑聲中發動一場所謂的決定性戰役。自2006年出兵阿富汗至今，共有24名荷蘭士兵在阿富汗喪生。荷蘭軍隊的防務將由美國、澳大利亞、斯洛伐克和新加坡的軍隊來接管。
