whats the point of joining military in countries like sweden finland norway
>>216415070they unfortunately have russia as their neighbour
In Finland you do your required conscription service which is basically summer camp for adults and then return to Finnish society and act as if you actually fought in active combat and know anything about how wars are fought.
you see all this ocean?someone has to guard it
>>216415070You got it all backwards, if anything those are the countries that deserve to be protected and have heavy military conscriptions and funds, not desert shithole #2726 ranked 114 in every metric that matters but spends billions on propaganda and military every yearWhy the fuck would you serve mozambique or morocco or algeria or peru over denmark and norway
It's better to have a country with people who are militarily experience because even if they don't need it now, they may need it at a future point.

The military in Bulgaria is a really nice career path. Great pay, almost no requirements to join, spend most of your time in bases in the woods with nothing happening all day, early retirement. Maybe it's similar in Scandinavia
>>216415109>and act as if you actually fought in active combat and know anything about how wars are foughtNo one does this, you stolen valor obsessed freak. It's still better than dying in wars for corporations and Israel though.
>>216415233Same here, most just do their training then hop on their playstation in the barracks
Army in Finland is mandatory, i also have 100 reasons why Finland more worth to defend than pakistan
>algeria>pakistanSame thing basicly
>>216415070Conscription is cost effective way to increase a country's defensive capabilities. The Americanon is partly right that the average conscript has no idea how wars are fought, but it's still good that everyone is already trained to do the most basic things in whatever field they specialized in.
>>216415070norway semi succesfully defended their country in ww2
>>216415109>Summer camoI can place claymines unoticable, dig landmine in frozen land in 30 sec so you wouldnt even notice and dismanttle and rebuild rk-95 under 20 sec. Dont fuck with me, i could also kill you with bare hands
the countries you mentioned are really defensible so having a military makes sensefinland held out against soviet union well enough that they only lost karelia and not the entire country in the peace conference and norway managed to sink a battleship carrying 2000 german troopsif anything a flatland like poland surrounded by bigger neighbours shouldnt even bother building a military
>>216415743And has any of that helped you get a job?
>>216415847Yeah unironically, bosses have also serviced in Finland and every Finnish man respects institution. Army is btw one of the common subjects in sauna and if you have dodged one nobody gonna respect you and will together laugh at and called failure
>>216415971This, every finnish man know how to use assault riffle
>>216415070the paycheck and the exercices,I guess
>>2164150701. Hanging out with the boys is fun2. Things that go boom are fun3. Fresh air is good for you4. Knowing that I am trained to kill Russians makes me happy
