Compulsory Patriotism
The symbol of the regiment were I did my National Service: the Lapland Ranger Regiment.
Sweden had Compulsory Military Service between 1901 - 2010 which means that most able men were drafted into doing some time of service in the army, although Sweden hasn't been in any war for 300 years.
From the nineties the threat from the outside was considered lessened with the end of the Cold War and in an effort to save money only a few were chosen to do their national service.
In 2010 the national service was ended.
