“The base is home to Swedish and Finnish peacekeeping forces.”

- What's that stain on your uniform?

- I got involved in some peace last night.

Let's face reality; USA, Europe and the rest of the civilized world is in a war together.

Even small, “peaceful” nations like Sweden and Finland.

Swedish soldiers ought to remember what Sweden was able to accomplish as a small, impoverished nation during her conflicts with Russia and with Catholicism (today the Catholics seem less hostile though and are good friends of ours!).

The Finns, on their behalf, ought to remember how Finland dealt with Stalin's forces some decades ago (like someone ought to remind them..)

Killing in itself has no purpose. Killing in itself does not please God.

But there IS a conflict between right and wrong going on today.

Whether we are American, French, British, Danish or whatever, we should quarrel less with other countries on our own side and give more of support to our troops!

We will win this war.

You know, we snicker at the Europeans sometimes, but if you recall, they were pretty much all champing at the bit to help us out in Afghanistan after 9/11. Especially their special forces. Can you blame them? Being in the Swedish or Dutch special forces would be like making the roster on a pro team, then never doing anything but drills and scrimmages. They were thrilled to come out and play.

Swedes carry weapons? Who knew?

Good for them! Thanks for the help. This war would be over in 2 years max if the Pakis would cooperate fully. [Or get out of the way...]

The battle began around 6.30pm on Thursday night when opposition groups ambushed the Swedish troops.

Those damned "opposition groups" again. Whatever happened to chaining themselves to so APCs and chanting "Hell no, we won't go"?
