Swedish army trains right-wing extremists

Published: 7th June 2007 10:30 CET

Seventeen of Sweden's current batch of military conscripts have extreme right-wing tendencies, according to a new report. Two military servicemen trained for high security operations have been found to have connections with the neo-Nazi organization Nationalsocialistisk Front (NSF).

When the two 20-year-old men demobilize, they will have received full training as patrol guards. As their training involved preparation for top security duties, the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) carried out background checks on the two men before they began their military service.

But since the conscripts in question did not have political records, neither of them were on Säpo's files.

"We have not had any indications that anybody has done anything wrong. It is not appropriate to have right-wing extremists in the army.

"But since we don't have registration of political opinion, there's no way that we can know things like this," army spokesman Kent Löving told Blekinge Läns Tidning.

The newspaper also reports that the military service system comes in for high prise on various extreme right-wing internet forums, with conscripts happy with the training they have received for an eventual "race war".

A report conducted by military publication Värnpliktsnytt and anti-racist organization Expo also showed that a further nineteen people with extreme right-wing views are waiting to begin military service.

The Local - Swedish army trains right-wing extremists

Oh no, seventeen right-wing extremist conscripts infiltrated the Swedish army by being drafted - this many, what a mess. Actually it is good young men train how to shoot in the military, I also was drafted and never asked about my political views, but I know there is a military secret service admiral nicknamed Canaris who implements the political order to unveil right-wing extremists by asking the question "are you proud to be German". Answer with "Yes" and you are unveiled as right-wing extremist aka Nazi, with disciplinary consequences. Actually there are soldiers that are proud to be German but shut up to avoid trouble, I can imagine the situation in Sweden is similar. However, what this text fails to mention the opponents in an eventual "race war" also are trained in the army, how disgusting unnatural...
