As a life-long vegetarian, I am AGAINST foisting vegetarianism on anyone against their choice. And in this case, it's a ridiculous policy on any number of grounds.

Vicky would be so proud!
Seriously - their proud viking ancestors are rolling in their graves now. Maybe they should issue them pink uniforms?
P.S.: Before you start the bitching - vikings came from all over Scandinavia.

Back in the days it only took one battle/war to separate truth from theory.

I don't think it's bad, it's just pointless. Now soldiers have to have two kinds of rations, which need to be stored separately, carried separately, distributed separately...

Went from a nation of viking warlords to this...how? Just, HOW?
I have a theory that the reason the black/death metal scene is so huge over there is because of the repressed masculinity and aggression in Norwegian society. Men have no outlet for these things so it explodes violently in the form of stabbing people and burning down churches.
I guess all that wealth from their massive oil reserves and the prosperity and easy times that followed are starting to make them lazier than the average American - and now even more 'progressively' lame, pacifist and feminine.
Don't think we'll see the Chinese Army doing this anytime soon. Would not put it past the US Army soon though.

I shrug at this. Seems fine. Militaries can decide how they want to feed their soldiers.

I think I'd have to pack a lunch on those Mondays. Spent some time eating Norwegian food, its a shame they would deprive the military of meat.

Would've been a nice addition to Romantic Comedy Wednesdays.
