Swede here, we had conscription when I came of age, so I was called to muster.

I went, and promptly failed the first test, the hearing test, I got a pass and didn’t have to do it.

At the time I was glad, I was scared, I didn’t want to do it, these days I think it would have been a valuable experience.

Anyway, I believe Sweden is worth fighting for, should we come under attack, I would get in touch with the civil defense and do my part.

As a Finn, it’s good to hear that you got our back.
It was a sad day for us when Sweden switched from a conscription army to the much smaller version it is today.

Interesting tidbit, it was explained to us in the military as a move made because you felt safe with us as the defending wall between you and the eastern aggressor.

Now as part of NATO, I hope you’ll come to our aid none the less.

Well.. Sweden is Swedish until the last Finn falls as the saying goes.
