Ask a norwegian veteran with three tours in Afghanistan anything

Ask a norwegian veteran with three tours in Afghanistan anything.

Did you kill anyone?

How are you today thank you for your service

We made contact with the Taliban several times, and some got killed. It's hard to say if it was my shots or any other in my 6-man group who killed them, but i would say yes.

kor mange kills har du?

Why did your country involve itself in the americunts' pointless slaughter of innocent people?

Hvordan liker du HK416 i forhold til AG-3?

Did you have a specific role there?
Communications, bomb disposal, whatever?

Do you believe your work/presence was useful?

Im fine today, but the first months home was a living hell. I would wake up in the middle of the night swetting and being terrified.

Aner ikke.

fuck you NIGGER

er hæren noget værd hvis man gerne vil tjene ordentlige penge?

Cool Canadian vet here. 5 tours, was on a narcotics unit.

HK 416 er et lettvint våpent, men det krever MYE mer vedlikehold. Rent skytemessig foretrekker jeg HK forran AG-3, men Ag'n var mye mer robust.

You tell me.

Top Cover on the truck. We did a lot of reco.

To a certain degree. From what I heard it's back to normal down there. We helped a lot of locals get drinking water, building homes (i did not contribute to this) and keeping them safe from Taliban.

Norwegians fought in afghanistan?

gonna be deployed near Kandahar in 6 months or so.
Any advice?

What do you think about Trondheim?
I just arrived here for a semester abroad and am getting to know the place.

i want you to tispe my rashole

Det kommer an på hvilken stilling du har, og hvor du blir plassert. Som befal i en jobb med mye felt kan man tjene mye penger.

Sweet, where were you located?

Skal kanskje i militæret, hvor mye fikk du betalt og var det verdt det? Og om man jobber i ambulanse, er det noen muligheter for lignende arbeid i militæret. Thanks Sup Forumsro

American iraqi vet here.

Did you browse Sup Forums before the military?

I did. I came here a few times to make roll threads on if i should off myself or not because of the shit that happened.

Sad days man. Killing, losing friends, blown up once...

>You tell me.
How would I know? I'm not Norwegian, so I was asking you.

Kabul and Kandhar. Was all over really we were a mobile unit so we weren't based out of anywhere. Got the orders to go here and there every couple days

Yes.


Keep focused, no matter how safe you think you are. Always bring enough water. The obvious!

I've never been there. But if you want to see the beautiful side of norway get out of the city. :)

Tøft, det kommer du ikke til å angre på. Prøv å søk deg inn på sanitet. De gutta er rå!

did you kill any children

a few maybe indirectly

so i was talking with this norwegian dude a few days ago
pretty chill guy
he told me that if im ever in norway, stay out of oslo, and offered no explanation whatsoever
what's the deal, OP?

Yes, I did. Sad days indeed. All of my guys made it back safe, but there was some norwegian special ops guys who died at the same time I was there. Just fucking sad....

It was pointless going in the first place. It's all back to "normal" there now.

Hvor mye kan man tjene på dette OP? (Plis svar, har tenkt å gjøre dette og vil gjerne vite på forhånd).

What other, if any, forces did you work with and what's your view on them? Foreign that is

No. But i helped picking up the pieces of a boy who touched an IED at the road we drove nearly everyday.


Oslo has a lot of crime and beggars. No nature what so ever. Oh, and everything is overpriced.

>slaughter of innocent people
>innocent people
>innocent

Would you go back if given the choice?

He pretending to be a soldier probably

They're part of NATO.

Nå er ikke Norge i krig, så man mister mange tillegg som gjør at lønnen ikke kan måle seg. Som fenrik i hæren tjener jeg omtrent 650.000. Da jeg var i Afghanistan tjente jeg rett under 1 million.

We worked a lot with the Lithuanian forces. Great guys with no fear. They cleared explosives that we got reports about. We met some Finnish soldiers, germans and some americans. The americans where officers and to be fair they acted like a bunch of dickheads. i've been training with other americans during Cold Response and they were very nice and well trained soldiers.

Yes, innocent. Thousands of innocent Afghan people have been killed because the americans claim 19 Saudi Arabians flew hijacked planes into their buildings.

Doesn't make any sense, does it?

>Top Cover on the truck. We did a lot of reco.
sounds similar to my tour in Iraq... britbong here... was top cover in a rather badly protected landrover that the government now acknowledges was a death trap they should have replaced much sooner - spend a good portion of the tour providing a glorified taxi service in and around Basrah for various remfs/senior officers and the odd civilian/diplomat/spy/whatever... some of whom seemed to be the real deal others simply geeky analysts trying to big time it while being taken from one ops room to another...

also did various QRF related tasks for both a medical team (which involved waiting in a porta-cabin on an airfield then running to a helicopter and getting dropped off potentially anywhere - SOP was, if too many casualties, leave our 4 man infantry team behind! - fortunately never came to that). And QRF for a small intelligence unit (well multi capbadge unit including military detectives and ammunition specialists alongside intelligence analysts) - they'd get crashed out every time an IED went off and we'd escort them there and stand around sweating while they did their sort-of-CSI thing...

What about Latvians, did you meet any?

Glad you and your guys made it back safe! That SOP is fucking stupid. You don't leave anyone behind, atleast that's what we say. Our trucks were fairly decent, Iveco LMV, but against bigger IED's they weren't that great.

Im sorry, I meant Latvians, not Lithuanians! So yes, I did. :)

So does Norway go out of the wire atallhow? big is the the group? You gotta have alot support staff for that kinda stuff.

I guess you could use American trucks and mechanics in some sorta join operation, but that isn't super common.

that wasn't the only task that had that SOP.. it did make sense though - the IRT team gets crashed out for P1 casualties (though they were quite good and were happy to floy out for much lower priority cases too). But if you did have mass casualties then leaving the 4 man infantry team on the ground to make space in the helicopter makes sense... after all we were infantry and we'd carry sufficient kit/rations, water etc.. for them to leave us there and make our own way/get picked up later if needed

another ad-hoc task was providing long barreled support for CP teams... they had a similar SOP and it was all about the VIP they were looking after... we'd go in white fleet rather than military vehicles and the priority if under contact was simply to extract the VIP... if they get him in the vehicle first then that vehicle leaves and the rest of the team carries on fighting/withdrawing from the ambush/whatever...

tjente du det før skatt da?

We had our own trucks, planes, helicopters and what not. Im not sure if i understand your question, but we were a part of ISAF, under NATO. My group was six guys, but there were ofcourse a lot of other norwegians with us.

Ja, det var før skatt. Grenaderer tjener en del mindre.

Okay, I understand what you mean. I misunderstood what you wrote. :)
