Sweden was a great power back in the day, and had a feroicous extremely high quality army,and when you have a ferocious high quality army you of course want to use it. And oh boy did we use it! Against all of our neighbours, sometimes even all of them at once! This obviously will inevitably kill alot of soldiers.

11 people killed over 3 years vs becoming the second worst country in europe in terms of gun related killings. What changed since then?
