True. But in this event, the potential would very likely impact all of Belgium, so there is no reason to differentiate flanders from the rest of the country. On top of that, both part of the country has suffered similarly throughout history of wars and bombs, so again there is no need for differentiation here.
There are very good reasons to differentiate the north and south part of the country on a lot of subjects since they are so different. This is not one of those reasons. Defense is a federal issue and there is no reasons to make it regional.
- thrower123 8y agoI'm really not trying to imply anything at all here. I'm just referencing this region's history of being a crossroads of empire and the common idiom https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanders_Fields https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanders_Fields
- pjc50 8y agoI can't believe people are missing the reference to one of the most famous war poems, especially just before Armistice Day. http://www.greatwar.co.uk/poems/john-mccrae-in-flanders-fields.htm http://www.greatwar.co.uk/poems/john-mccrae-in-flanders-fiel...
