Delightful, yes, but if a novelist postulated a university official who cheerfully offered to do this kind of thing--successfully! No "and then things went seriously wrong for these arrogant cowboys" denouement--reviewers would complain that it undermined the conventions of fiction by requiring too great a suspension of disbelief. There must be a lot going on in Sweden I haven't grasped.

That or international mercs have better marketing now a days. For a hilarious look at the scene, consider Jagged Alliance 2.
