In 1914, the Belgians fought their hearts out for four years as World War I devastated their nation.
In 1940, the Belgians fought for a few weeks, often bravely, as World War II devastated their nation.
In 2006, the Belgians surrender without a peep, as World War III slowly devastates their nation.

Don't give Belgium too much credit in WWII. Two things about their ignominious King Leopold III:
In 1936, Leopold announced a fundamental change in foreign policy; Belgium abandoned its military alliance with France in favor of a return to neutrality; thwarting French efforts at self-defense by refusing admittance even to French military observers.
On May 27th, 1940, Leopold, without consulting the government (or France or Britain), requested an armistice, and on May 28th, he surrendered. The government fled to Britain and attempted to fight on, but the surrender struck a blow to the heart of Allied morale.
