I just got a letter from the National Service Administration. They say I don't have to do military service unless I want to. Yay!

*happy*

I'm a free man.

Congratulations! Not being required to do military service is a wonderful thing - certainly one of the things I like best about my country.

Of course, then I do something odd like volunteering :)

But again, congrats :) Enjoy your freedom.

I know, you could celebrate by... oh... say, living another 50 or so years. :)

Nah, I'm going to live at least a hundred more years. I want to see the new century.

Last time Swedish soldiers found themselves in a war was 1939 and even then that was across the border in Finland... and they were on leave.

Hell, if peacekeeping doesn't count, you should start pointing fingers at my service :)

Why?

The whole invading and annexing thing, that an engaging in hostilities as well as intervening without a mandate from a legitimating authority. ;)
