"[The Swedish's military's] finances have been disconnected from its purpose," he told a resignation press conference.

"You can't just take away lots of defence procurement spending without it having operative effects," he said.

The cuts, he said, would damage Sweden's capacity to take part in international operations and would make it impossible for Sweden "to belong to the EU's core in defence matters."

The Swedish military has been dicconnected from it's purposes - protecting the people of Sweden. The Swedish military has no business overseas, the real damage has been done to the Swedish military by converting it in a "self-sustaining foreign legion" for foreign interests. Swedish soldiers in desert camouflage stationed in Mazar-i-Sharif, that is truly not what the Swedish army was founded for. The the claim they would protect Swedish people ia the ultimate lie since Swedes are under threat in their very own homeland.
