First Finland, now Sweden. I watched the swedish news a couple of hours ago, and there seems to be a real hazzle going on because of this.
This is from the norwegian news site nettavisen: (on the bottom of the page there are some pictures of it.

there is a video too on the swedish site, but i have no idea how to link it.

I wouldn't wanna be in the shoes of the officer who organized this little happening, if he's wearing any, that is...
The video in question.
Well, this is sensational journalism for you. Watching them try to connect this to the combat boat accident that happened a few weeks later was pathetic to say the least.
They even managed to squeeze in some US bashing towards the end, saying that these soldiers got their inspiration from the "macho attitude" typical of the USMC.
Of course I don't support firing weapons naked (lol), I'm just sick of the media's lack of objective reporting.

Throw some roll mats and nurse outfits into the equation and you've got a party!
Hillarious, I funny how the lefties always want to tie up good-hearted soldier's fun to being something terrible, I mean it wasn't like they were hazing anybody.
Given the lenght of the clip from Swedish television (15 min), I find it hard to grasp that they didn't show more of "the shocking" recordings to support their bull****. If the Carl Gustaf clip was the worst... Big ****ing deal.
Lighten up lefties.
The clip, use SDP multimedia to record it (http://sdp.ppona.com):

Rather edifying ain't it! What's the problem with two men having fun with their weapon (pun intended).

WTF, haha i guess they just did it to be able to tell their buddys
"yeah ive fired a carl gustav naked, what about you, whats the coolest thing you ever did naked?
Brokeback Mountain Division.
At least they didn't pose for a gay ****ography site...
About this film, I wonder if this TV report on a 2 year old film and their attempt to link it to the Combat Boat 90 accident has something to do with the recent (1.5 weeks ago) decision by the chief attorney to bring one of the commanders to trial over it (the boat incident).

This is so odd.
Sven of sweden, eh?![]()
I never really understoodt why that "finnish abuse scandal" got so much attention, people misunderstoodt the whole thing and so on.
But it seems that swedish soldiers are going a bit further..![]()
Tom of Finland would definitely approve of this one.
Sure lighthearted fun for the boys, but from a civvy street point of view somewhat juvenile I think.
Quite a lot of CG ammo burnt away for the benefit of the camera too.
