Luckily, Norway won't be fighting anybody anytime soon. (actually, when was the last time Norway fought anybody? How'd they do?)

Meanwhile, it provides dating opportunities for the draftees. It's ever so cute but leaves the real prospect of combat to someone else.

They have sent some troops to the middle east, but their last real action was in WWII.

They surrendered to the Germans in thirty days and were occupied until the end of the war.

World War II, and they did pretty good considering the German forces lined up against them. They provided medical units and ships during the Korean War and the Gulf War so they didn't really fight anyone then.
