This is the first image you get when you google “Finnish army”. The Finnish Defence Forces (lead by this fucking guy, we elected him because we didn’t want a gay president) are conscripted from the male population. Every Finnish adult male has to serve in the military, or perform civil service (which is stigmatised: “It’s just washing men’s assholes in a retirement home!”) for twice as long. Or go to prison. Conscription is against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Finns are mostly fine with it though, because we don’t give a fuck about things. Another reason is fear of our Russian neighbor, and the popular assumption that the only thing keeping them from invading a small, peaceful, Western democracy is our “credible defence forces” [see image 1]. -- source link
