No, not in real life but in the gaming world. Anyone know of Battlefield 1942? It's an online FPS which will soon have an interresting addition to it- a mod that let's you play the role of Swedish commandos invading Norway.
Hilarious or utterly tasteless?- You'll be the judges of that.

- Story outline for Silent Heroes -

The year is 2003. The conflict in Iraq takes longer than the Allied forces have estimated. Civil unrest makes it harder for the forces to maintain normal security in the main cities and the uprising amongst the Kurds in the north puts strains in the relationship between the US-installed government and the NATO country Turkey. With Bush putting Syria on top of the 'Axis of Evil' list, the US government sends an additional 50 000 soldiers in preparation of a third invasion in the Middle East.

The sheer number of NATO forces tied up in the region makes it clear to military analysts that other large campaigns will be delayed or made impossible due to lack of resources. At the same time a group of high ranking military personnel in the Swedish High Command bring out a secret plan laid out in the beginning of the 20th century and begins to update it to modern standard.

A misty Sunday morning in the year 2007, five helicopters drop units from the secret elite special ops group SSG near a base at the border, while a battalion of tanks from regiment P7 enters the country, all according to plan.

The Invasion of Norway is under way!
I'm just waiting for Norway's reply.

LOL K3 is a group of Belgian girls, who make extremely annoying music, but all the kids seem to enjoy it, and they're making an awful lot of money with their act.

Damn straight! The Viet Cong called New Zealand soldiers the 'grey ghosts', and man for man, the New Zealand troops were the most feared among the 'South Vietnamese' side due to their stealth and bushtracking expertise. BOO YAH! :D

And Johnny, go get those dastardly Belgians! Sick 'em boy! ;)

I found this interresting site about the Grey Ghosts. We never heard much about them overhere, it's actually kinda new to me. But it's defenitely an impressive bunch of guys.

as of a couple of years ago it was all really new to me too (and still is). My great uncle fought in Vietnam (as part of the Australian forces), but he refuses to talk about it, won't even allow casual references to the war while in his presence. It was a war that took a heavy and needless toll on all involved...
