I don't know why the Swedes talk so much about their glorious military history. They haven't fought a war in over two centuries. That's a lot of talk for a people that haven't done **** to back it up.

I also don't know why 13th redneck is defending the US here when he made a pretty similar statement two weeks ago in

Who gives a crap if you've got the most accurate sniper rifle assigned to the best sniper in the world under your command if it is illegal to use him in any meaningful manner? |
