What's so special about Holland?

I was looking on Google earth for some info and i noticed that Holland smudges out all its millitary fields in the imagery. Why would they need to do that? Even uncle sam doesn't do this. Anyone know why the Dutch are so keen to cover up their airfields? Or is there something more to this than meets the eye????

It makes us look important.

It is also really handy to find out which builings are fishy. Some office buildings, always thought to be 'normal' offices are suddenly blurred.

Haha, but i consider myself not actually speaking English, alot of people (not me) think they can speak English, in fact English is a very expanded language i once heard you have more than 2 million English words, most of any language in the world.

What i speak is English 'pillow' talk... get's me far enough with girls tough hahaha

I'm not claiming my English is perfect, but at least I know when to press the "shift" key while typing "I".

Seriously though, this is an English-language forum. I have found that if you use proper spelling and punctuation in your posts, people are far more responsive to your questions. Or, at the very least, it doesn't take them half a minute to figure out that when you wrote
get's me far enough with girls tough hahaha
you actually meant
get's me far enough with girls though hahaha

Hollander's military airfields really do look like that. They are not smudged out at all - they bury them under water to stop the Swiss naval attacks. 'Tis a little trick that they learnt fron the Japanese in WW1.
