(I didn't really think of
them as people when I fired the first shots, "says Tone
Gunnes)
Subject: A new breed of female
by Anne Berg
From her armored vehicle (see photo) 22 yr old former Norwegian soldier, Tone Gunness says she killed between 20 to 25 people during her tour of duty in Afghanistan. She maintains that it was an assignment with which she had been tasked by the Norwegian Parliament. Now back home in Norway, she states in a newspaper interview that she feels no remorse and doesn't think it was a such a big deal. In her own words it was an "OK experience". In the interview she says that she did receive psychiatric counseling and had to fill out some forms, but it it did not mean much and she does not dwell on her experience.
The interview was conducted during training for her new occupation - to join the police force. Pity the `subject` crossing her path. According to this new breed of female, she did not give much thought to the fact that she shot and killed human beings. She was there to fight terrorists - her leaders told her so. She also believes that the citizens of Afghanistan see them as liberators and welcome their presence. (Funny, but the Norwegians did not see it that way during the WW2 German occupation).
