There is something wrong with todays young women

I saw the guard in Copenhagen, many years ago, not very well turned out at that time. Looked like conscripts who didn't want to be there.

I suspect things have changed for the better since, especially with all the overseas service. The Danes and Norwegians did very well in Afghanistan.

[Proteus_MST]

Perhaps depends on who gets there.
The german peacekeeping forces in Afghanistan, for example,
IIRC consisted in 100% professional soldiers who volunteered for the task
(in contrast to conscripts which, also in germany, make up a good percentage of regular forces)

Maybe it´s similar for denmark and norway ... mix of professional soldiers and conscripts at home, 100% professionals in peacekeeping forces

Cavalry upgrades to Tanks!

The Germans fielded a lot of conscripts who volunteered.

I was against it - once you blood the greyhound, who know where it will lead? Ukraine anyone? They know the ground

I think you're secretly proud of her, I would be.

Also, if she saw some sheep banger, she'll be able to knee him in the bollocks and take him down.

Mobius feels the need, the kneed for speed...

[The Mad Monk]

Kneed results in the opposite of speed...

[BlackCat]

Yeah, I guess that MOBIUS' needs make him perfer to bend his cabriole legs so he can kneel and get the feel from the fleece of the ewe - just beware of the tups unless you feel a need to be kneed.

[pchang]

I find your in-depth knowledge of sheep disturbing.

[BlackCat]

It's quite superficial - MOBIUS are the litterally in-depth expert.

Nah, not that much secret about that

I did the same back then when tired of books and needed something different for a year. Though, they didn't offer me a parashooting course

Love women in uniform

[Dr Strangelove]

We're going to need all the female warriors we can get. Recently the Kurds discovered a weapon that Jihadis fear more than anything else - women. When the Kurds announced that they were forming an all women's fighting unit the local commander of ISIS protested because they believe that a man killed in battle by a woman can not claim the reward of a martyr. Now we know their weakness.

they are idiots aren't they

This girl came to Denmark as a three year old - now she has returned.
