Yes Sweden got an army. So does Norway and Denmark. We are small, but we pack a punch. We are Scandinavia and we are the terror from the north. We are the vikings.

[@christiankristiansen1708]

Godt vi har naboer som er så oppegående. Norske, Svenske og Danske soldater har samme mentalitet. Stolt av våre Skandinaviske brødre for måten de kjemper på. Hilsen og støtte fra Norge.

[@robplasz]

These Swedish guys seem incredibly thoughtful and bright for soldiers (who volunteer). No gung ho bullshit or blind obedience to duty/orders/the flag etc, which is what I experienced so much with British soldiers I worked with in the early eighties . Just hope the normal Afghans can finally get rid of the Taliban when they are left to do it themselves, although I don't think that will happen.

[@raidkoast]

Well, I know I can't speak for all of Sweden but people who walk around with big mouths, brag and mock are not very liked here. Try to impress others and get yourself liked, then no one will like you. On the other hand, do your work and be respectful and good opinions will come naturally.

Im from Norway and we have the people behind us. Norwegians support the troops and the war they are fighting. They know that it's a political choice and not the soldiers. Soldiers go where their gouvernment sends them and thankfully the Norwegian population, mostly, understands this. I give thanks to the Sweeds and Danes for their contribution and effort in this war. I wish the people of the respected countries would support their troops. Love from Norway.

We haven´t been at war for a long time, the soldiers in afghanistan are at a big volume, volunteer soldiers, they chose to go to afghanistan to help. And the reason we are strong is because of the other wars around the world, because we develop high-tech weaponry. For instance the submarine we made that could stay submerged for 1 month and was undetectable by radar.

Sweden is militarily non-aligned and has been historically - this is not the same thing as never getting involved in conflicts ever. This is not the first time and won't be the last time Sweden gets involved in peace-keeping missions abroad when asked to by the UN. In the past many atrocities (Rwanda genocide, etc) have been committed because nations sat by and did nothing. And because of that the UN has started sanctioning interference in conflicts to a greater extent than what they used to.

[@MeetMalice]

No - It's not dangerous to eat snow. Yes, it'll drain energy to heat the snow up, but it sure as hell isn't dangerous.

[@Noname-no5qf]

Can be dangerous if there’s parasites in the snow

[@kristofferhellstrom]

@@Noname-no5qf That's just what parents tell their kids to make them stop eating snow :P

[@tyskbulle]

Swedens almost 200 year long peace is more credited to our luck rather then our sucess as a non-aligned country. That said, Sweden has been a center for peace movements for nearly a century. But I think its wrong for us to tell other nations to send peace keeping forces and not contribute ourselves. Today our army is fully built for this purpose and the idea is to help other nations keep the peace so the war doesnt spread closer to home. And I think thats noble.

[@piktor6494]

if there's 1 things i have learned from this video is don't eat yellow snow...

[@nej7318]

Yeah that was pretty mutch the point of this video

[@PrawnzHD]

Debatable. Depends mostly what you mean by "support". Many Swedes basically didn't believe themselves in a position of making a judgement whether or not to enter into the war, so in that sense they didn't "support" it, but there was no real opposition against it either, we were, as swedes usually are, quite neutral about the subject.

De är lätta slå ut bara stoppa ner koppar/stålplatta i ändan av tjockt stålrör och packa på med sprängämnen bakom och centrera tändhatt långt bak. Avstånd mellan tändhatt och centrum på disken kontra periferin är har jag för mig 1.6-2.o beroende av "konens" vinkel. 1.5 kg av PETN eller Hexotol per 600 gram koppar på 150 mm skiva om 4-5 mm tjocklek.

[@lystanson1983]

How does the whole process work for a Swede to be able to get deployed and engage in combat? And are female soldiers allowed to engage in combat too?

[@karl-erikmumler9820]

Tl;dr: Serve in the army and volunteer for international missions. Sex/gender is irrelevant as long as you can meet the criteria. Long story: However males are conscripted and females aren't (a system which has been in considerable flux the last few decades) but can apply to the normal army if they want. The normal army never leaves Sweden because Sweden doesn't engage in offensive warfare. After doing your normal army service you can apply to "the outland battalion" which is deployed outside of Sweden on peacekeeping missions and such. Sweden is militarily neutral and thus only puts troops on foreign soil as part of an internationally mandated mission. As Sweden is militarily neutral it did not partake in the invasion of Afghanistan but supplied peacekeepers after the event.

[@markfelton8170]

Everyone wants to be tested, truest words ever spoken.. Combat is and always has been the ultimate test of weather you are worthy of existing in this world, to exist means taking resources other will not get. To know your worthy of that sacrifice is at its core the test.
