Not enough volounteers, so draft is reintroduced on limited scale.

I read an article on this last night and was surprised to see that Norway has also reintroduced the draft, and both countries are drafting men and women.

Old Swedish army joke. "We'll defend our land to the very last Finn!"

Seriously, good for Sweden. But it's only a couple thousand conscripts.

I still have my old draft card around somewhere.  Figured since it was against the law to destroy it, I kept it.

Since they're going to be "testing" potential conscripts both physically and mentally, I foresee an opportunity for much hilarity.
