A Dutch political strategist has launched the Pink Army movement and is looking for gay soldiers to sue retired general John Sheehan, who last week blamed the Netherlands' inclusion of gays in the military for massive deaths during the war in Bosnia.

Peter Schouten put out the call for gay soldiers on the website PinkArmy.nl. He said he wants Sheehan to publish a full-page apology in the international press -- and attend a course in "sensitivity training."

On Friday, Dutch prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende condemned Sheehan's comments, calling them "outrageous, wrong, and beneath contempt."
