Boeing-Saab: No problem. Here's T-7A. Anything else?
Pentagon: You wouldn't happen to know where we can find a longer range air-launched bomb that can also be fired from ground launchers?
Boeing-Saab: You're not gonna believe this.

Som fd. pilot och Flygvapenchef känner ÖB väl till de självmord som skett på flygvapenförband genom åren pga en ovärdig grabbkultur. Att gå i spetsen och visa att alla är välkomna i FM oavsett sexuell läggning bidrar till en bättre arbetsmiljö och ett starkare försvar. Ledarskap.
Vad är det för gruppsykologiska mekanismer som får den före detta stridspiloten och numera överbefälhavaren för Sveriges väpnade styrkor att göra något sådant här? Vilka signaler skickar det till främmande makt? Vilka slutsatser drar en fientlig och aggressiv stat av detta?

BK 90 kunde öka chansen att stå emot en stark fiende - som inte bryr sig om konventioner.
Därmed rädda svenska liv.
Eventuella blindgångare självurladdas. Kort räckvidd.
