#2 Killing them softly with Lutefisk! Good for them! The fricking Swedes would send troops but their protacal would require the Muzzies to rape them.

The Minnesota Troops Support website has a video of Norwegian troops training. For some reason it's one of the more popular videos.

#3 The deploy to Sweden or Denmark first; they have bigger problems with their local insurgencies than Kabul.

#4 Probably from their "mountain" regiment, you know those guys in all white and on skis. Kirk Douglas is their best scout.

#6 I think a few NATO countries have realized that they have an excellent opportunity in Afghanistan to both polish their halos by being a part of a multi-national, UN-approved force, and to gain valuable combat experience fighting alongside the United States military. The rest are too PC to consider either reward sufficient to cover the possible loss of any of their troops.

#8 Sorry Chuck. It was more of a comment on Sweden's social policies of protecting Mooslem rape gangs while sacrificing their own traditions and women.

Come to think of it Sweden rolled over and worked with the Nazis in WWII. Norway had to be taken by force. There is still a lot of bad blood in the two countries over that one.

I'll take Lefse over that shit Naan any day! Give em HELL VIKINGS!

#10 Norway was a superb, yet un-heralded ally during WW-II. In the late 1990's, we thanked them again by cancelling a contract extention for a relatively small follow-on production order of Penguin missiles (anti-ship); a very effective and lethal little number.

Where we really have a problem a lot of the time is in how we treat our friends; over time.
