Hi GPT,

Well there are some of us that RESPECT those who choose to defend. I am one. in the US, depending on if you are Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard. there are web sites for all.
Aviation Now is a well updated site, as well as some shipmakers sites, "Northrop-Grummen". Stay out of harms way, ie: watchyerbut, or is it CYA.

The problem with Sweden is that we have a conscription army. Nonetheless, defending one's country is both a duty and a privilidge.

They never let me into the army... :-(

Yes Sweden has done some strange things during war.

Yeah.
We've come to the conclusion that war is generally a bad thing. The last time we were in a major war, we lost 60 per cent of the country. :-(

Sweden wasn't really neutral in WW2. The germans realised that it would be easier to use stolen gold to buy iron from us, rather than invading the country and risking that we destroyed the mines.

None of this matters anyway. Sweden couldn't invade anyone with an army larger than Estonia... :-D

And in any case, Britain would help them (as they did in 1918) along with the Finns and the other Baltic States :-)

Devious imperialists...
Why can't people just leave us in peace? We have an empire to build, and we ain't got all day! :-x
