living standards, rich with oil and free health care afford to train and
equip their own Marines?"


You do know that Norway's population is just over 5 million people.
I'm Sure they to the best they can with that limitation.

So they need 700 US Marines? They have a decent sized military. Why the US Marines unless they're
looking for a tripwire?


I think 700 recon marines could take Norway.


The Norwegians spend their resources on improving and sustaining the
lives of their fellow citizens. They have relatively small armed forces.
