"one of the female soldiers shot better than some of the men in the elite platoon..." Wow....big deal.

This seems madness to me. Why train a group of people who will ALWAYS be 2nd best to an equivalently trained group of men?

"Jegertroppen"

Shouldn't that be 'Jugertroppen'?

“Last year, Norway became the first NATO country to introduce female conscription.”

Wow. How many females (or even whole families) will flee this country now to avoid being conscripted?

It’s easy to kind of laugh at this but having visited Norway and having a Norwegian girl friend in my early years I can assure our readers I ran into a lot of women there who can kick my ass pretty easily. And this was in the 80’s! I couldn’t believe how big the women in Norway were. 5’ 10” was not unusual.

Special forces in Scandanavia means learning how to don a burkah and learn how to cook and care for Muslim appetites. Norway, Sweded, Denmark, they all surrendered to the Muslims years ago.

They lie with a straight print...

‘We do the same tasks’

‘To qualify for the Jegertroppen, applicants have to run about four miles carrying 60 pounds of military gear in under 52 minutes. That’s just three minutes less than their male counterparts who have to do the same thing in under 49 minutes.’

I don’t have a problem with females who volunteer and can compete with the males in their group. If you can round up a group of them and call them a unit, that’s fine too. But co-opting a bunch of B-Team candidates as a PR stunt and calling them “elite” seems like a joke.
