No problem, that is females from the Norwegian Armed forces btw.

The last picture (that I embedded) is of our (former?) Defence Minister and some other woman who I could google to figure out whom is, but I'm too lazy

I guess that explains a lot, but I still don't get it. But there is a lot of things in the world that I don't get.

Now because I actually discussed this earlier today with a friend of mine: The Norwegian Military on Females a short history:

In 1977 the two first females taken up to "Sergeant school", in 1985 every woman who wanted to could apply to do Conscription* (and every female born after 1992, have to meet up at the Conscription thingamagid, where they figure out if they want you in the military or not) and in 2009 we got our first female General.

Females are actually encouraged to both get into the military and make a career of it, also a female will always be chosen over a man if they both qualify (or are equally fit for the job) the only part of the Norwegian military there is no females is in The Special Forces (I think, it's one of those super duper special parts of the military), and the reason is that no female have yet to pass the physical.

*I really can't find a better word for it, is it right? In Norway you "have" to serve at least 18 months in the military if you are fit for service. (not that everyone fit for service gets drafted, that would be too many people)
