Dozens of soldiers from a battalion famous for using the emblem of a vicious comic book avenger to strike fear into the enemy in Afghanistan are heading to Iraq with ISIS in their sights. The Telemark Battalion is an elite mechanised infantry unit of the Norwegian Army which has been involved in the fight against the Taliban as part of the NATO-led security mission since 2003. Around 50 soldiers from Telemark will be heading to the city of Irbil in northern Iraq to train Kurdish forces to help them in their fight against Islamic State, the Norwegian ministry of defence has confirmed. It is thought the mission will begin in early April.

Looks like the Norweigans still have some Viking blood in them.

'Chris Kyle the American Sniper had his also.' Kyle is known for using a variation of the Punisher symbol himself, featuring the words 'Despite what your momma told you...violence does solve problems'.

I had a foreign student from Norway stay with us a couple summers ago. She and her boyfriend (who came for a short visit) were both as buff and tough as they could be. Not big people, but very capable.

He was drummed out of office by The Nineteenth Amendment.

Jam the ISIS radio frequencies with Amon Amarth while attacking.

Wonder how they’ll do without a lot of snow and ice around...or will they bring their own?

That’s what the stylist at the hair salon said to her, and then.....

If they’re going to front like that — then I sure hope they know how to take care of business.
