The Few. The Proud. The Swedes.
Ever thought of joining the Swedish military? Of course you have. A website promoting the socialist-leaning, gummy fish friendly military makes national service seem cool again. But cool in an Ian Fleming way - in contrast to the USA's more Michael Bay-esque image of armed service.
An announcer with a heavy accent guides you through a series of simple cognitive skills tests in a seemingly dark and impersonal room. As you go through the announcer describes the use for such skills as multi-tasking or spatial thinking in an armed-service mission.
Give it a shot. You, too, might qualify to go overseas and help clean up one of the messes that the US has either caused or ignored.
