It was not an experience I would recommend to most 17 year olds just getting out of high school like me, but now that I'm becoming a cranky old man, I'm starting to view my military service in a different light.

Translation?

My greatest thanks and my respect to those of you who have served. Thank you all.

Do you mean that Congo crisis in the 1960's when those Saabs was used ? Sweden itself never used it in action.
Actually the year when Sweden was last in war is 1816.

I can't believe it!

Antenna (Anti Henttu)'s site is about Twilight: 2000, an RPG from the mid-80's about World War III. I would say that he's based it off "current" (90's) Swedish OOB's, and it's reasonably accurate. Antenna's one of the greats in T2k-dom.

Hi Frank,

I have *very* negative experiences with the Bundeswehr. It would be extremely off-topic to deepen this, but let's say that I finally became a conscienous objector against the service in the Bundeswehr and that I do not regard the part of the Bundeswehr I had to serve with as a military organisation.

I regard the military as something very serious and nothing you can entrust to the, err, *persons* I experienced there.

Roland
