Special Operations: Vikings In Iraq |

[StrategyPage] They established a fierce reputation with their adversaries in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Telemark operators also use psychological warfare. An example of this is their use of their logo (similar to the skull symbol used by the Marvel comics character the Punisher) in Afghanistan, where they would come at night and mark homes of Taliban or Taliban sympathizers with a spray painted version of their logo. Many of the Telemark operators consider themselves modern day Vikings and not to be messed with. In Iraq and Afghanistan the Islamic terrorists quickly learned to avoid these Norwegian soldiers who were more unpredictable and dangerous than most European troops. (emphasis added) |

#4 SPoD - Your comment makes no sense. A Foreign Legion is mostly composed of non-citizens. This battalion is (presumably) all Norwegian citizens. |
