A commander at a military conscription unit in Finland told reporters in
August that some men recently have been discharged shortly after enlisting
because they had become "addicted" to the Internet and longed for their
computers. Said the official, Jyrki Kivela: "For people who play (Internet)
games all night and don't have any friends, don't have any hobbies, to come
into the army is a very big shock." (All males are scheduled for at least six
months in the military, but about 20 percent get specially exempted.)

Nope, just some whankers who don't know how to live without computer. Or just
cannot adapt living in same room with 10 other chaps.
Anyway, it's sad but true. Army service was piece of cake. Working and
studying is much more harder than finnish army.

The actual number is 20%, but they're counting the 10% of medical exemptions
and 10% of civil service/jaildoers in it...

Always remember that its a good excuse for lazy fatasses to return home, you
still need to provide a reason to get your service postponed by a year or two.
If you as me those wankers should be beaten twice a day for the rest of their
service because of using such a lame excuse to IRC another few years.
