The soldier may have been misinformed about his surname. In the translitteration process from Norwegian into English the ø has most likely become an o.

It's so lovely to have you Minnesotans, Americans,here. Keep up the good work.

That's how my father got to school every day.

Lillestol is written Lillestøl in Norwegian and means Small summer grazing place in the mountain for cows/goats

Gee, this is quite a contrast to Gov. Walz when he retired rather than be deployed to Iraq..... REMF WALZ.

"Self rescue" 😂 no no no, that's a joke trust me😂

Are we sure the Norwegians shouldn't come here to train? 😂Average Temperature in Norway

My office for 5 years, sadly, the snowflake ages have reached Norway too, and the prescreening have seen a huge drop in outdoors skill set. Norwegian kids are no longer expert skiers or trained outdoors men/women anymore. Just like everywhere else the young people grow up in front of the TV and Computer. Norway has 100% coverage of home PC's and Cellphones. Everyone has a PC at home. When I was in school there were no such thing as a snow day, we skied to school in the winter. We built ski jumps and would have competition in the recess between classes. We were also expert in building snow caves a skill our military did not need to spend time on teaching us. Nearly 100% of us where capable swimmers as we had pool hours at school just to teach us to swim. Norway have longer coastline then the equator is long counting al islands and fjords. There are of course still outdoors enthusiasts, but the number is shrinking.

TOTAL WASTE OF MN NATIONAL GUARD RESOURCES. All this could be done in Northern MN!

THESE TROOPS AND OTHERS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO STOP THE INVASION....AND THE MN BORDER! THIS TRAINING COULD BE DONE IN NORTHERN MN.
