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...]

- Every sane European (and there are millions of us, believe me) understands that the WOT is not between USA and Islamofascism.
It's my nation's war too.
We all know that after WW2, Western Europe was crippled and therefore USA had to do much of the work regarding the Soviet threat. In the end, as USA and Western Europe grew stronger, evil could not keep up with us.
Today all Germans, from the eastern as well as the western part of the country, all Poles and all Hungarians can speak their minds freely without having to fear they'll never see their loved ones again because of something they happened to say at work.
Presently, even smaller European nations than Sweden are sending troops to places like Afghanistan. Give them your support.
All of us could do more than posting comments on the Internet.
To begin with, we could agree to have a closer look at what kind of military equipment our governments buy for our tax money.
USA boasts the leading military apparatus of the world, yes, but there are several areas in which “tiny” Sweden is ahead.
Three major examples:
1. The JAS Gripen (fighter plane) probably delivers more “bang for the buck” than any competitor. A Raptor plane is a more lethal weapon, but it's more cost efficient to build a swarm of Gripens than one Raptor.
2. Stealth subs:

3. Stealth warships:

The Vikings were superior shipbuilders.
Even some centuries before the heydays of these ancestors of mine, we were known for being “good shipbuilders” by the ancient Romans.
Today we are very much in touch with this tradition and we furthermore know a little bit of building dangerous stuff that fly too (apart from the Gripen, we manufacture the range guided Bofors/Raytheon Excalibur shell for instance).
You ought to be lucky Sweden is on your side in this war..
Absolutely, well done to the Swedes.
