| #10 salting, in a manner of speaking, the Swedish armed forces with combat experience and lessons learned in real fighting might be one reason to be involved. Lots of nations served in Iraq and Astan. See El Salvador, the Stone Platoon. Slovakia in Astan. |

| #4 Didn't Sweden recently restore the draft? And agree with OrangeMan on terms for a billion-dollar plus purchase of Patriot missile defense systems? |

| #3 /\ Okay... The Swedes have been sending significant numbers of troops on UN Peacekeeping Missions(Sweden) for decades. An non-UN mission is different... Interesting. |

| #2 Sweden?!? The Swedes have been very careful in their neutrality for a long time. Is the EU needing people to fill the gap left by BREXIT and coerced Sweden into this? |
