More airworthy fighter jets than the Kraut air force.

I think so.

Some real world data on it's effectiveness would be interesting.

My favorite article about the Swedish military.

Trigger Happy, Autonomous and Disobedient.

When fired at, Nordbat 2 often shot back, frequently disregarding the UN rules of engagement. Colonel Henricsson made it clear that he would not respect rules and regulations that threatened to prevent him from achieving his mission objectives. When his own government tried to rein him in, he simply told his radio operator to pretend that the link was down until he had a fait accompli to present to Stockholm.

One of my friends served in Nordbat, they all liked the Colonel.

No longer in service.

They were cool, but maintenance hogs.

It isn’t a prime video.

Available, yes, but you still have to pay to watch it.

From what I’ve seen of the Swedish military, a war between them and us “domestic violent extremists” would devolve quickly into drinking, bar-b-que and shooting contests.

I am confident that I could defeat you at all three.

Drinking and shooting maybe, but BBQ? Never!

Definitely not a title I should have viewed after a day of day drinking on the water.

Ultimately, it was... meh. It couldn’t decide whether it wanted it be a drama or an invasion/disaster movie.
It took a long time to get going. And then, once it did, it would slow down again. It couldn’t sustain its momentum.
One thing I will say, the ending in the church got to me.

I liked the Aussie movie. The premise of it at least. Being out on a camping trip and while you’re gone and friggin invasion happens. Lol. Plus I think they were killing Chinese in that one too if I remember right.

Think Red Dawn. Better than that Aussie movie, Tomorrow When the War Began.

Every other story on Sky News Australia is about China and Australia butting heads.
But that movie is still kind of ridiculous :D

Never specifically mentioned in the movie, but...Indonesians.

In the same basic genera, How I Live Now is definitely worth a watch.

Ironically, there are multiple Arfcom posts about taking over NZ, so it’s not really bizarro.

I’m sure that was to not ruffle feathers. Kinda like how the Red Dawn remake had the Norks invading us when really the Chinese would be the only ones that *might* be able to pull that off logistically. Oh well, I still like to pretend they are killing little commie chinamen.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out.

That movie was based on a series of books. They were supposed to make additional movies but never did. It was turned into a TV show as well.

Well, I took a chance and rented it.

Hard not to fall asleep during it, fast forwarded through 2/3'rds of it and gave up.

A few scenes were interesting, but the movie should have been an hour long.
