I just saw a documentary about our(the swedish) forces in afghanistan and I say that the government and the armed forces are lying their socks of in their effort to recruit new soldiers.
In the latest commercial they show some real badass marines, they say something else but everyone are still looking at the pictures.

The translation in the end is like: We can offer you our reality, an education that leads to a job that makes a difference, FOR REAL.
And this thing about their reality are just a smartphone app where you do "missions" like stalking someone for 15 minutes.
Its like everybody should think, OMG so cool to stalk people.
And now to Afghanistan. All other countries that are involved in that war said it was a war a long time. Except we, our leaders proclaimed that it werent a war and it was just bad luck that some of our guys died.
Some years ago another documentary about our troops in Afghanistan which where called "the peace force" In that show they talked and where nice and everything was just perfect. No one talked bad things and it where almost like home.
Now the new documentary started and about the first things they do are complaining about how the government have directed it and tried to hide the truth from our people. During the cold war both USA and soviet knew that sweden werent so neutral as they seemed. Everybody knew it except for the swedish people and it seems like it ha been like a tradition to think we are neutral when we arent.
Just needed to vent this.
