    Swedish Army Commercial

    Not sure what you mean by legitimate commercial, they are being aired on Swedish T.V. There is a debate ongoing if the the adverts will get the the 3000 new recruits needed or not. One group says that they are basiclly saying '' Join us and you will get a boring job with a very bad salary ''...
