They should have put a tall Swedish blonde woman at the end and said, “we offer you this. Join the Swiss Marines and look good in front of hot Swedish women.”
Good stuff, but really; joining the military so you can “get an education” is the wrong reason. You join the military so you can kill your country’s enemies and break their stuff.
Our problem in the U.S. is that while the military SHOULD exist to defend and promote the American Principles of Liberty (by killing the enemies thereof), our Commander in Chief is himself an enemy of those principles and he’s been purging the upper command and replacing them with his people. So there is, apparently, no way to “win” militarily. Join if you think the pay and “benefits” are enough (which makes you a mercenary, not a soldier) but there’s no other reason.

And a sex change. The Swedish Army won’t give you any hassle over a sex change.

The most dangerous ground combat weapon in the world is not a Swedish Marine. It is a trained American 19 to 24 year old infantryman.
