Since I watched the movie of the same name, 'bout an old dude in WWII, I watched this when it came up on the YouTube feed. My best friend in high school's mother was Finnish. 'Interesting country, that borders the Russian bear. 'Seem like great kids. Finland doesn't get much press, and especially very little when it comes to Scandanavia and it's uber liberal tendencies.

Very interesting. I think some our younger generation needs some training in the military, maybe they wouldn't act the way they do.

Would do our country good to require some level of military service.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

The Finns are great and I've really enjoyed their culture. Working for Nokia, I had the opportunity to work alongside many Finns and traveled there 8 or so times. I got to be part of a 4 week training class with management from all over the world. We spent the first week camping on an island, 2nd week in China, 3rd week USA and our final week back in Finland on a frozen lake where we had camped the first week in the summer. I did the polar bear plunge at our graduation part the last night! They are very outdoors related culture with most families owning a lake cottage for the summers. The women are gorgeous and very self sufficient. Fun people to drink with.
