fear sells baby, but it isn`t in the current schematic of the American propoganda machine.

We use what works these days: Patriotism.

Funny how they hang a curtain of pride and patriotism over the scene on one side and on the other side show actual war scenery and fear..

But how many wars of aggression have the swedes undertaken. I can`t think of any since the vikings. Sweden wants to keep from looking like most of the middle east same as America only we station our troops in other country`s. Any one know the number of troops Sweden has serving in foreign countries?

if you think the last time sweden was at war was in the time of vikings then you suck at history.

right now we have 1000 soldiers serving outside sweden.

Fucking army.

How striking, how the USA and Canada are using the same bullshit propaganda to recruit stupids peoples, to combat a war witout any nobles causes or purposes.

When in Sweeden they`re showing exacly what waits you, and ask you to be part of it to make a real difference.

Striking.

I don`t see the reason for the "VS." They`re both pretty good ads, appealing to their specific nation. If the second clip was for the US, the guys who would actually enroll wouldn`t even get the ad, they`d be like: "wtf is this shit, i don`t get it... are they at war? that`s some messed up country that celebrates during war..."

really I don`t see any difference. They are both showing a possible reality. You choose whitch one you like. Beeing "the man" or a savior or possibly out of revolt against the pain you inflict on yourself by sympathizing, meaning you somehow come to the conclusion you need to go out there and save everybody to stop this pain that you hate.
Maybe because you just don`t know what kind of career you want?

it`s stupid because you are putting your life on the line for everything but the right reason: to protect your life.

Swedish army is a joke!!!!!

World War I

Sweden was neutral during World War I.

World War II

Swedish neutrality – national policy since the end of the Napoleonic Wars – was maintained during the World War II.

you can be against the war all you want, but its the "stupid people" that have protected that right for over 200 years. i cant for the life of me understand the hatred you all have for our solders? my guess is its some form of retaliation from when you were bullied as a kid.
