Yeah, good that you are looking at it that way. There are alot of immature finnish kids that never consider the circumstances surrounding the war.
The fact that it would have taken 4 months for the swedish army to mobilize a force of say 150 000 men, and getting them and the supplies over the sea to Finland, just in time the war ended(started november 30, ended March 13th), is just striking. It was as i mentioned earlier, practically impossible. I think the government handled the situation very well, but we can agree to disagree there.
Actually, the voluntery force Sweden sent was the biggest ever involved in a war, to this date.
Ah, i love history, but lets call the quits in this thread shall we?
History is extremely interesting, especially military history. But yeah, let's get back to hockey before the mods wake up
I'm going to get a couple of classic Soviet and Russian hockey games in a few weeks (Canada Cup: 1981 USSR vs Canada final, Canada Cup: 1987 USSR vs Finland Round robin, Olympics: 1994 Russia vs Finland Bronze metal game). This means that there's several delightful evenings with beer and hockey on the horizon, I can hardly wait.
