“The main task is to kill”: a scandal in Denmark over the announcement of a vacant company commander

A scandal erupted in Denmark over the announcement of a vacancy in the country's armed forces. The announcement was placed by the infantry battalion of the 1-th brigade of the royal life guard.

The announcement looked as follows:

We are looking for a company commander who understands that our main task - to kill - is so simple, very simple!

It is further noted that the tasks of the company commander of the specified unit include planning, preparing and conducting operations by personnel, and performing personnel tasks. It is added that at the moment 120 servicemen are serving in the company.

Continuation of the announcement:

Applicant, you should also understand that for military personnel you must become a leader and even a father who will be able to give advice, direct their activities, demand and take care.

When the announcement appeared in major Danish media, the Danish defense department realized it. It was decided to change the initial sentence in the announcement. So, the words "the main task is to kill" was replaced by "the main task is to defeat the enemy."

Danish journalists interviewed a man who allowed the announcement in its original form to be placed in the media. It turned out to be the battalion commander Lt. Col. Henrik Hwils. Kombat, answering reporters' questions, said that he so “wanted to clearly explain to applicants what profession they choose.”

A statement by Lt. Col. Hwilsom cites the Berlingske edition:

I think that this phrase of some may lead to reflection on what profession they choose. If we find ourselves in a state of war, such a person who has a job should not doubt the demand that we make - and that they must defeat the enemy they are facing. In war, we are not playing football, badminton or chess is going to play with the enemy ... Even when we go to the shooting range, we shoot at targets that mimic human figures. And in war, in any case, we will have to apply weapon.

Recreative.
However, it can be assumed that candidates for company commanders in Denmark are not the subject of what the military are doing in general.

[Leeds]

Impressive they are. I remember that in Holland they shot the sparrow, which launched the dominoes, so people took to the streets, staged protests.

[Flooding]

And I recall the public killing and cutting of a giraffe at the Copenhagen Zoo in 2014.
The petition for saving the poor animal was then signed by as many as 27000 Danish citizens.

[Shurik70]

Judging by the picture, Denmark, Austria and Spain eat the most meat in Europe.

And if you are not a vegetarian, I consider unhealthy cynicism to protest against the slaughter of animals for meat.
As for the article, she had fun. My grandfather taught me that the profession of a soldier is to defend the homeland.
And in Denmark, it turns out - this is a profession to kill, or, as paraphrased, "to defeat enemies."

I correctly understood that you addressed it to me?
Well then, take your children or grandchildren and take them to the slaughterhouse to save you from cynicism.
You, perhaps, did not quite understand the circumstances under which the giraffe was slaughtered?

Apparently there is no such thing in Denmark - Homeland

Judging by the ad, you might think that we are talking about recruiting executioners in the guild

[Incvizitor]

They are in NATO, this is the executioners guild.

[Valery Valery]

What difference does it make in the ad?
Think about something else: company commanders are looking for through an ad in the media .... !!! Clowns !!

[My_log_in]

And what, a 35-year-old pensioner-aviator with the rank of Major-Lieutenant Colonel would look very good in a captain’s position in the infantry, albeit in the royal brigade He’ll probably pass through health, he should be familiar with the first part of the combat charter - forward and with the song.

What for? If you follow the Soviet analogy, then the second "for the eyes" is enough. Squadron commanders will be collected by other announcements

[orionvitt]

Moreover, I do not understand who they were going to kill. What is the Danish army? Maybe this is such a force, from the mention of which, all the most combat-ready countries of the world peace nervously startle?

[tracer]

In my opinion, Ole-Lukole still has a commander in chief. They live according to the Charter of H.Kh. Andersen.

[The leader of the Redskins]

I would be very surprised if such an announcement came from any monastery.
And so - in the military short and intelligible ...
It is much more interesting that they recruit commanders through the media. And what, who is the first in line for the post of Minister of Defense? Nobody? So I will be the first!)))

Hmmm, but I naively thought that the military had slightly different tasks, including the company commander, to achieve certain goals and objectives, including humanitarian ones, and to "kill" it depending on the situation.
The Dane’s announcement is essentially the announcement of an over-age child who has been on a business trip where a thread in Iraq has traveled a couple of times to patrol and imagines himself desperately steep and severe commando, so that the mirror cracked from his brutality.

We are looking for a company commander who understands that our main task - to kill - is so simple, very simple!

I look at the Danes, noble killers, I understand if the Americans wrote like that, but is this louse really worth it?
The killer is powerful.

From the award sheet of the grandfather:

Skillfully commanding a platoon, he correctly disguised fire weapons. 11.12.43/XNUMX/XNUMX in the area of ​​the village of Rudnya a platoon reflects 5 enemy attacks.
During the battles, the fire of the platoon of mortars destroyed 50 Germans and suppressed the fire of the mortar battery of the enemy.
The platoon has no casualties in personnel and weapons.

+ my grandfather so destroyed the German column. Now we are collecting information with my brother.

And so - in the military short and intelligible.

If a serviceman tells me that his main task is to kill, then I strongly doubt his competence and his profession.
The main task of a military man is to always be ready to defend his homeland. And protection in our time is especially a permanent state. And for the most part, it falls, thank God, in peacetime, albeit restless.

[bessmertniy]

However, Western countries today are characterized by using them not to defend their homeland, but to send them to hot spots where the task is unequivocal: to kill people whom they uniquely identify as enemies. But the company competition for the commander is probably the cost of Western democracy. They would also give an opportunity to preschool children to choose the head of the kindergarten.

[knn54]

A descendant of a Viking-character is NORDIC, in Russian-FROST.
And the tasks of the commander (and not just the company) are DESCRIBED in the Charter ..

And HOW do you think - WHAT the Danish military are doing (in the sense - AT ALL ???)

[Incvizitor]

It is they who are killed as part of NATO all over the world, they are looking for a killer.

[Boris Chernikov]

well, they’re recruiting command staff for an ad in a newspaper ...

[max702]

But how can I say, the Danes may well be especially defenseless to kill themselves ..

[Sentinel-vs]

Warrior from the bone marrow! What did they expect when they asked him to come up with a vacancy announcement? )

[Ka-52]

all the wars of Denmark took place in the 17th century.

[Private-K]

In the 2nd floor of the 19th century, they were even marked. They say that even someone was killed.

[tihonmarine]

Quote: Ka-52

all the wars of Denmark took place in the 17th century.

Last, the war was in 1940 and lasted two hours. The Germans captured the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, due to the massive bombardment on the morning of April 9, with one and a half tons of leaflets. The truth is that at 05:15 a civilian ship with an infantry regiment, a civilian icebreaker and two patrol ships arrived at the port. At that time, the Danish battleship Niels Yuel, two destroyers and a watchman, who in one salvo could have smashed the whole squadron to pieces, were not on the raid at the time, but they did not even uncover the guns. Having landed at the port, the Germans occupied customs, arrested two police officers, and captured the headquarters of the Danish army. At 7 a.m., the German ambassador threatened to bomb the city. And after 20 minutes, the king had already surrendered.

[Mountain shooter]

But. The spirits of the Vikings have woken up, and the bloodthirsty "Danes" are preparing their Drakkars for "Vic" !!!
Where will they go? To Gardaricu? Welcome. The earth is big, everything will fit. A couple of meters under it.

[Russia]

In this case, the experience of killing two cockroaches with a slipper in your kitchen is desirable.

[novel66]

and be sure to help the psychologist later

[bessmertniy]

In such a difficult case, medical assistance will not help the candidate. Only complete cremation.

[Moonsund]

Thank you Captain for evidence. What is the news that the drops of the Danish king worked?)

[rocket757]

We are looking for a company commander who understands that our main task - to kill - is so simple, very simple!

They don’t even bother!
Why write capital ... like, to protect the territorial integrity of the state and all that jazz ??? Briefly and clearly ....
And sho, it seems that they show children how a giraffe was killed and butchered ... then the "cute pussies" of lions, tigers were fed! Back to the primeval state! Killed an enemy ... you can experiment with his liver!

[cniza]

And on the other hand, how to imagine this - the search for a company commander through the media. Greetings!

That's honest, I DO NOT REPRESENT.
I’m no longer surprised at that; I’m just kidding!

[cniza]

Maybe we misunderstand something? Maybe they are so "advanced", but where?

[rocket757]

At the expense of "advancement" the question is open, but it is not childish to push them, this is already obvious!

[cniza]

As I understand it, this is their elite, what then do ordinary people have?

[rocket757]

In principle, they live and live, we don’t live like that, but we’re better on our own, ourselves and in our own way!

[cniza]

Something I don’t want to live like that and I know their life is not from books, I have been there more than once.

[rocket757]

Earth is NATIVE alone, it’s good to live only where you understand and accept EVERYTHING and the same thing comes back to you!

[Andrea]

All armies are the same; the commander’s mind is not the main advantage; there are subordinates for this.
Is it hard to imagine that the army is not a bunch of maniacs, but a guard and defender?
However, is it NATO and uncle leaked the creed of the army?

[Basarev]

Gather commanders for announcements.

[novel66]

when it’s not necessary to fight ..

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

I do not understand anything. But how is the battalion of the royal life guard, that is, an elite force, looking for comforters on an ad in a newspaper? I would understand if it was about recruiting, but comrades ?!

[bessmertniy]

Perhaps they are so tight with this command link that they have to look through such marriage announcements.

[IS-80_RVGK2]

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

Very simple. "Who is here, for example, the extreme king? Nobody ?! So I'll be the first!"

[alexmach]

So what. He told the truth. In well-fed Europe, they are slowly losing touch with reality. For them, war is such a show on TV.

[samarin1969]

What's the scandal? They are looking for a real warrior, not a scarecrow for parades.

[Reserve buildbat]

That's just the Life Guards and there are sharkuns parquet))) For parades.

[Thrifty]

He honestly wrote that the Danes were not preparing for the defense of the country, but for an occupational war. There will have to kill a lot often! For truth burned. ...

[cniza]

We are looking for a company commander who understands that our main task - to kill - is so simple, very simple!

Yes, they have bad business - the company commander is looking for an announcement in the media.

[rotmistr60]

The recruitment of the command staff through an announcement in the newspaper and with a brief explanation of official duties is of course something ... And this is another NATO member who is ready to stand up for European democracy by breastfeeding. Have you tried to engage in the preparation of command personnel?

[1536]

Yes, to be or not to be, that is the question. But did the Danish kingdom think that besides the main task of “killing”, the military there also has the main task of dying?

[Graz]

and that people are already looking for ad commanders of the Danish Guard company, what can you get to

[Errr]

We are looking for a company commander who understands that our main task - to kill - is so simple, very simple!

Now in the district you will not see a cow, nor a sheep, nor a pig, nor even a dog or cat.

[saveall]

Oh ... I beg ... Who did they kill there for the last time? And pathos, pathos! The killers are also to me ... Here they had glorious ancestors, and now ... some loud words. How much did the Wehrmacht Denmark conquer there? For 6 hours or something ..? Apparently the shortage was a creepy commanders mouth. Yeah ...

[tatarin1972]

They had geeks, the Danish Volunteer Corps
Freikorps Danmark, grabbed a spoonful of crap near Demyansk, where 80% remained, then marked under Velikiye Luki, after seeing they realized that the war was not a sigh on the bench.

[Paul Siebert]

Lucky Russia - never fought with Denmark!
These guys are real beasts!
It’s scary to think what would happen if the Danish hordes hit us ...
True, after Ragnar Lodbroka in the 8th century besieged Paris, the Danes had few successes in the military field, almost zero ...
Wars with Sweden for influence in the Baltic - lost.
In the middle of the XIX century, butted with Prussia for Schleswig and Holstein, partially inhabited by Danes. In two wars - a complete failure, the desired provinces heroically lost. They became famous for their endless retreats into the country and the unexpected abandonment of defended cities. Warriors!
In both world wars - embarrassment.
In World War I, I was lucky - the Kaiser was not up to the pygmies, they sat in neutrality.
But in the second ...
Norwegian berserkers like lions, with the support of Britain and France, fought for several months with the then invincible Wehrmacht for their homeland.
And Hitler did not even notice a country comparable in population to Denmark.
Day - this is an assessment of the then Danish independence.
Now in her bed in Amalienborg, Queen Margrethe of Denmark, at night, in a dream sees red and white Danish flags over the towers of the Kremlin. That's why they climb into the Baltic states ...
Byu - bye, Margrethe! Sleep well.
But someday you will need to wake up ...

[saygon66]

- But how could she fight with us, if the spouse of His Imperial Majesty Alexander II, Romanov, Maria Fedorovna, the princess of Denmark, Mary, Sofia - Frederic Dagmar ... And the dukes of Oldenburg in Russia were noted ... Or maybe someone else ... more ancient. So until the year 17 there was no such historical opportunity!

[Dmitry Zverev]

It would be interesting to find out the size of the monetary allowance of the Danish Life Guards)

[Moskovit]

Denmark has always been an ally of Russia in all wars. We never officially fought, except for some minor skirmishes in the 17th century. Actually Nicholas II is half Dane). Now, Denmark is a country unfriendly to us. How much crap on SP-2.
And about killing ... If only giraffes.
Recently my son is in Denmark and ran into a giant demonstration in Copenhagen. With a big stage, musicians, ardent speakers. The reason is the struggle for the legalization of marijuana and other soft drugs as in Holland. The smoke over the protesters, as they say, stood like a rocker. This is what the Danes are most worried about. Therefore, the "killers" are recruited through newspapers)).

[tatarin1972]

We fought with the Danes, there were geeks, the volunteer corps of the SS Danmark.

[Vitaly Tsymbal]

Dear author !!! And the vacancy is still not occupied? If something I can become a "father" to Danish "sons" Yes ... things are bad in the Danish kingdom if they cannot find a platoon candidate for a company post !!!!

[awdrgy]

They also told us so when they brought us to the unit. This is normal.

[Blue fox]

The company officer on the ad ... Fine ... What is it that turns out, the platoon officers are incapable of growing into comrade ???
Apparently, this is the case when just "in the army on the announcement got".

[bars1]

I agree. The task of the military is to kill those who encroached on their homeland. How our grandfathers acted in the Great Patriotic War The more you killed the enemy, the more honor and respect you receive. And to hell with detailed political correctness!

[superman]

I think that this phrase of some may lead to reflection on what profession they choose. If we find ourselves in a state of war, such a person who has a job should not doubt the demand that we make - and that they must defeat the enemy they are facing. In war, we are not playing football, badminton or chess is going to play with the enemy ... Even when we go to the shooting range, we shoot at targets that mimic human figures. And in the war, in any case, we will have to use weapons.

He correctly wrote everything in the announcement and explained. In vain then they apologized and copied. The person who will have to kill other people must be aware of this before taking office.

[vanavatny]

that is, to cut giraffes in front of children, these scum are considered normal, and what the military is not up to speed with, degenerates ...

[Naval]

On the morning of April 9, Reich forces invaded Denmark and occupied the kingdom for six hours. Already at 10 o’clock, the Danish government appealed to the people to remain calm and not resist the occupation

Therefore, our military are the defenders of the Motherland, and they have killers capable of killing stealthily, and only 6 hours to defend the Motherland!

[iouris]

Do not defeat the enemy, but kill when they give the license to kill. It’s also interesting to see what they have inside?

[maidan.izrailovich]

Here it is modern Europe ...
The fact that LGBT people march through the streets demonstrating their sexual perversions does not bother them (Europeans). And the fact that the integral part of the military profession is the destruction (killing) of enemies, it confused them.
