US general: Gay Dutch soldiers responsible for Srebrenica massacre

A former American NATO commander and senior marine officer, Gen John Sheehan blamed "open homosexuality" in the Dutch army for the failure to prevent the Srebrenica massacre in 1995. Gen Sheehan made the comments at a U.S. Senate hearing where he argued against plans by President Barack Obama to end a ban on allowing gays to serve openly in the US military.
