The only thing they fear is Tõnu.
I’ve seen enough 80s action movies to know, if they piss him off, he’s gonna wipe out their whole flotilla.
I can see an “Arnold from Commando” kind of dude.
We laugh but this is not uncommon. I remember reading manpower contributions to the war in Afghanistan back in ‘17 and there were two Estonians and four Icelanders on the list. Hilarious when put next to the 10s of thousands of Americans.
Sounds like they’re working off of percentages
I mean they could easily say max of 100 or some percentage. And if 100 soldiers make a significant chunk of your army, you probably shouldn’t send any soldiers as your country can even easily be invaded by rabbits.
At least a complete platoon, so something like 20-50 soldiers. That way it’s big enough to handle missions independently instead of just creating issues for whatever platoon they’re assigned to.
That would also ensure that your soldiers have some of their countrymen to fraternize with. I’m sure it’s probably pretty lonely being the only Estonian in a war.
I wonder how the military units get organized when stuff like this happens, do the people from the tiny countries militaries just get told to go be part of a different military for awhile and follow those guy’s orders? Do they get their own little tent and individual unique assignments from their home country?
Well generally everyone on joint bases like that reports to the base commander. There’s always a clear chain of command that transcends nations when it comes to NATO operations.
Also, I expect that most small detachments like that are just technical experts, not just straight infantry or anything lol
It’s like a Eddie Murphy/Mike Myers movie where you show up to base and every person you meet is just the same guy in different outfits and makeup.
Imagine needing 10s of thousands of soldiers when the Estonians can do it with 2.
Estonians are just built different
Okay everybody, meet Trevor. Trevor is the newly assigned anti-pirate guy. Each ship Captain will have to wait for him to ride shotgun outbound, switch to an inbound ship, and ride back. That should settle down all this pirate nonsense. Any questions?
6 months later, not a pirate is to be found, dead or alive, and not a single ship taken. Meanwhile, none of the crews will talk about “Trevor”. All they are willing to say is that “Trevor is a very very nice man, we were very happy to host him.” Always spoken with a monotone 1000 yard stare.
And a quick change of subject, for some reason 🤷♂️
If he’s the cook they’re doomed
Jokes aaide, what happens if the soldier they sent has a power level above 5 and starts shooting ki blasts and deflecting bullets?
