Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII must be rolling over in their graves.

We both came up with the same imagery at the same time. See my post after yours.

And yes, the great Gustavus Adolphus (d. 1632) stood for three things that modern Swedes detest and reject: nationalism, militarism, and Christianity (specifically, Lutheranism).
