His call-sign is Pingo ;).

On top of things he has a Masters degree in political science.

Danish Special Forces is a pretty high rating. They're three of the highest trained individuals on the planet. :lol:

So he knows a thing or two about running a country. Cool.

(Yes, I'm aware that it's mostly ceremonial, but still...)

I suppose that's true, if they mobilized the reserves. The Danish military will forever be cool through, for being one of the export customers for the J35 Draken, which looks fucking cool as fucking shit, to say the least.
