It has always been too easy for the politicians to get young and naïve kids to sign up for being cannon fodder.

The Danes had the right idea in WW II. Surrender in 3 hours rather than fight. After the allies liberated Denmark they were surprised that Denmark suffered little or no war damage although the Danes did look rather skinny from lack of food.

The 21st century Danish army isn't bad. Male and female soldiers shower together while out in the field.

Would you believe that the Danish Army is forward deploying troops to Estonia as part of the NATO tripwire force. Doubtless Danmand and his pal Paul C. Roberts are both utterly horrified.

Estonia. Latvia and Lituania are old Danish territories.

On and off. From 1219 to the revolt of 1343 and then again from about 1573, until 1645. Of course don't ask Estonians, or Latvians let alone Lithuanians what they think about this!
