Just so you know - there is only so much military you get get outta five million folks. And we've actually bought Norwegian hardware (just as they've bought ours) - Penguin anti-ship missiles IIRC.
Shouldn't badmouth the Norwegians. Be happy for 'em.

I know -- my dad worked for Westinghouse and did lots of business with the Norwegians on radar systems. I'm not badmouthing them. I do get a bit irked with Europeans in general when they congratulate themselves on all their "wonderful" social welfare w/o also recognizing we're part of the reason they a) can afford to have it, and b) are free to experiment with it in the first place.
