Wonder what his opinion would be?
It would seem to be the most unusual type of cut the armed forces have faced in many years but for some Swedish women the issue was no laughing matter.
The female squaddies protested to the European Court of Justice that the lion insignia on the crest of the Nordic Battlegroup was simply too male. It was argued that, in the 21st century, the image was something they could not identify with.
They subsequently won their case of sex discrimination and so it was ordered that the king of the jungle should become a sexless beast and its genitalia were removed.
Christian Braustein, of the army’s Tradition Commission, said: “We were forced to cut the lion’s willy off with the aid of a computer.”
Eeoouh!
#17: “Now you know why Sweden hasn’t won a war for 300 years.”
The last time Sweden won a war was in 1814.
#15
I’ll give you the spanking your father never had the balls for
#21…Tippis….I had to stop laughing before I could answer that.
It still wasn’t Sweden, it was a primarily French recruited army, led by a former top French Marshall who Napoleon placed on the Swedish throne. His name was Bernadette. So, I guess you could technically say Sweden was involved in a coalition that managed to beat Napoleon…..once!!!!
#21…Tippis….Oh….you DO realize that 1814 was just shy of 200 years ago???…right???
Please don’t be insulted Tippis…I happen to love Sweden and love spending time there when I’m in Europe. Really friendly, good people.
But face it…..the words…Swedish victory/won war is an oxymoran….like Army Intelligence. Sweden’s last big push was under Charles XII.
Actually, I showed my ignorance in post # 23…..the last war was against Norway, not Napoleon. Damn ignorant American.
