| #3 Have you ever seen the freaking Norwegians in the Olympics with their obsession with the 10, 20, and 100 km cross country ski races? If those are the athletes, and I have been told, long distance ski racing is a national "pass time" in Norway, can you imagine how tough the fully trained soldiers would be? I think they might be as tough as the If you are a good shot and able to move effectively at night with stealth, any where the ISIS are is a target rich environment. I don't believe they get much training in cover and concealment AND besides, I sincerely believe that many of those enlisting in ISIS are less interested in winning than they are in 72 virgins and paradise. Sort of a conundrum for their leaders, how can you attain victory if most of your troops are only interested in getting killed? |

| #1 Eldest son, on his first tour of Afghan with the 173rd, told me Norwegian SF guys he met there were some of the hardest dudes going. Things like packing a wetsuit into the mountains, so as to hide out in a water hole (glacier water runoff), to wait for whoever might come by. |
