Sweden: Cold War’s over, people. Let’s cut army numbers by 90 percent and air force and navy strength by seventy percent. After all, the Soviet Bear is now a pelt in someone’s parlor.

Well, not exactly. And now that Sweden sees a need for more soldiers and those nasty weapons … “We have lost a whole generation of combat commanders,” says (retired Maj. Gen. Karlis) Neretnieks. “If you buy new tanks, you have to know what to do with them.”

The bear is the bear is the bear.
