Army castrates heraldic lion



Protests from female soldiers have led to the Swedish military removing the penis of a heraldic lion depicted on the Nordic Battlegroup's coat of arms.

The armed forces agreed to emasculate the lion after a group of women from the rapid reaction force lodged a complaint to the European Court of Justice, Göteborgs-Posten reports.

But although the army was eventually happy to make the changes in the interests of gender equality, the artist who designed the insignia was less than pleased.

"A heraldic lion is a powerful and stately figure with its genitalia intact and I cannot approve an edited image," Vladimir A Sagerlund from the National Archives told Göteborgs-Posten.

Sagerlund blasted the army for making changes to the coat of arms without his permission.

"The army lacks knowledge about heraldry. Once upon a time coats of arms containing lions without genitalia were given to those who betrayed the Crown," said Sagerlund.

But the castrated lion has already won the day and is now worn on the arms of all soldiers in the battle group's Swedish battalions.

"We were given the task of making sure the willy disappeared," Christian Braunstein from the army's 'tradition commission' told Göteborgs-Posten.

"We were forced to cut the lion's willy off with the aid of a computer," he added.

The Nordic Battlegroup is one of eighteen such military groups in the European Union. Some 2,000 of its 2,400 soldiers come from Sweden, with the rest coming from Finland, Norway, Ireland and Estonia.

I never saw this could be a penis (pic shows the old coat of arms)



Anyway, if only the nordic troops would remain in the North....these "emancipated" female "soldiers" rather should be worried about the girls in their own homeland than taking part in occupations of foreign soil in the name of human rights. Stange form of neutrality....

From feminization to devirilization there's only one step. What about dropping your guns, soldiers?

Now it is an eunuch...

Yes just like many European males ... and exactly how enemies want European culture to become. We must cure ourselves of this disease which we have created ourselves (partly).

It's incredible the amount of money modern States waste for inutile and senseless things nowadays. Or will the costs of the castration be paid by the protesters?

"The army lacks knowledge about heraldry. Once upon a time coats of arms containing lions without genitalia were given to those who betrayed the Crown," said Sagerlund.

Sagerlund couldn't have been clearer, even if unintentionally.

[Carnyx]

This only rejoices the feminists, the gays however... they are probably protesting vehemently against this unjust decision: "Hou hou! Let the penis back!"

How would a certain Viennese Jew who lived in the beginning of the 20th century, comment on all this?

You mean that he would consider these women requesting that lion's penis be removed as closet lesbians?

Ok, Feminists are often short haired ugly women. But it is purely speculative.

This sword is offensive as well. I think it should be replaced by a less violent symbol, like this one :



I should also add that this white lion is an obvious sign of racism and/or fascism/nazism/whatever. Shame on Sweden !

[Menydh]

Time to start using phallic symbols to make a stand?

[Huerequeque]

So basically, in the name of "equality" the male lion was made female..? Why can't we just choose a symbol that meets somewhere in the middle of the road. like... HERE!

[Susi]

No, the male lion was castrated. That symbol is hardly "the middle of the road". It isn't even a lion. A middle of the road in the sense of the word would have both parts, but I think the better is the original lion.
