'SOLDIERS GAINST NUKES
During the last year the massive civilian movement against nuclear
weapons has found a counterpart inside the Dutch army. Amongst army
officers and soldiers, professionals as well as conscripts, a
debate has been started about the nuclear arms race. For
professional army officers the-debate has resulted in the founding
of the Teace and Security Deliberation Council1 (VVBK). Amongst the
conscripts members of the 'Dutch Conscripts' Trade Union (WDM) and
the 'League of Conscripts' (BVD) have organised the 'Dutch Soldiers
Committee against Nuclear Weapons'.
The guiding principle of the Committee is the unilateral and
unconditional removal of all nuclear weapons from Dutch soil. We
have no longer any faith in the protracted SALT negotiations, which
have not ended the nuclear arms race. On the contrary, these
negotiations have accelerated the development of refined tactical
weapons suitable for use on the battlefield in the event of a
conflict in Central Europe.
There is no time to wait for steps to be taken by either of the two
superpowers for a mutual, 'balanced' arms reduction. Only
deliberate steps made by smaller nations such as Holland, can set
an example for nations in the Eastern Bloc and lead the USA and the
Federal Republic of Germany, to start thinking seriously about
unilateral nuclear disarmament.
The world is still a long way from such steps. It is therefore
necessary to strengthen the anti-nuclear arms movement, outside as
well as inside the army. Soldiers of the Dutch army are closely
involved in the guarding and storage of nuclear weapons. And are
also being trained to use them. A massive refusal of all soldiers
to work with nuclear weapons can make it difficult to maintain them
on Dutch soil.
The aims of the Committee are as follows:
1. To distribute information about nuclear weapons.
2. To encourage soldiers to refuse to work with nuclear
weapons.
3. To organise the fight against nuclear weapons inside the Dutch
army.
