No it's not. I'm forced to live in Europe at the moment. It is ugly with even more ugly Eskimo heathens all over the place.

Don't get me even started about Sweden. Only ABBA, pickled herring, hairy women and girly men. Have you ever been outside Ikea?

Re: The Moomins – One step away from being Satan's concubine

if anyone who know who Lauri Törni aka. Larry Thorn was. should get realy pissed of by your commets!! here is just a little bit of information on Larry Thorne aka. Lauri Törni!! now you insulted even the Green Barrets!!

United States
In 1949 Törni, accompanied by his wartime executive officer Holger Pitkänen, escaped to Sweden, crossing the border from Tornio to Haparanda (Haaparanta), where many inhabitants are of ethnic Finnish origin. From Haparanda Törni travelled by railroad to Stockholm where he found protection and shelter with the Baroness Von Essen, who harbored many fugitive Finnish officers following the war. Pitkänen was arrested and repatriated to Finland, but Törni fell in love with a Swedish Finn, Marja Kops, and was soon engaged to be married. Hoping to establish a career before the marriage, Thorne travelled disguised under an alias as a Swedish seaman aboard SS Bolivia, on a destination to Caracas, Venezuela. In Caracas' harbour, Törni met one of his Winter War commanders, Finnish colonel Matti Aarnio, who was in exile and settled in Venezuela after the war. In 1950 Caracas, Törni was hired to a Swedish cargo ship MS Skagen, with a destination to the United States. While in the Gulf of Mexico, near Mobile, Alabama, Törni jumped overboard and swam to shore. Törni travelled to New York City where he was helped by the Finnish-American community living in Brooklyn's "Finntown," where he worked as a carpenter and cleaner. In 1953, Törni was granted residence permit through an Act of Congress that was shepherded by the law firm of "Wild Bill" Donovan; the head of the OSS, America's wartime covert military organization.
Törni joined the U.S. Army in 1954 under the provisions of the Lodge-Philbin Act and adopted the name Larry Thorne. While in the US Army, he was befriended by a group of Finnish-American officers who came to be known as "Marttinen's Men." Similar to Thorne, this group of decorated Finnish wartime officers had emigrated to the United States and were inducted into the US Army under the Lodge Act. Several of them were brought into Special Forces at its inception.
With their support, Private Thorne, was soon on his way into Special Forces. While in Special Forces he taught skiing, survival, mountaineering, and guerrilla tactics. In turn he attended Airborne School, and quickly working up the ranks where he attained a reserve commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1957. He later received a regular commission and promoted to Captain in 1960. From 1958 to 1962 he served in 10th Special Forces Group in West Germany. While there he was second in command of a search and rescue mission in the Zagros mountains of Iran, gaining him a notable reputation in Special Forces.
In November 1963 he joined the Special Forces unit A-734 in Vietnam and fought in the Mekong Delta, where he was twice decorated.
In 1965, he transferred to MACVSOG training unit in Vietnam as a military advisor. On 18 October 1965, he left for a clandestine mission where his helicopter crashed in a mountainous area of Vietnam, 25 miles (40 km) away from Da Nang. When a rescue team arrived, they were unable to locate the crash site. The coordinates are 48 PYB 9455 8960.
Shortly after his disappearance, Thorne was promoted to the rank of major.
Larry Thorne's remains were found in 1999 and formally identified in 2003. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, section 60, tombstone 8136, on 26 June 2003.
[edit]Legacy

His U.S. memorial is the Larry Thorne Headquarters Building, 10th SFG(A), Fort Carson, Colorado. In Finland, the survivors, friends and families of Detachment Törni formed the Lauri Törni Tradition Guild.
In the book The Green Berets by Robin Moore, the "Sven Kornie" main character in the first chapter was based on Larry Thorne. The book was later made into a movie by the same name starring John Wayne.
In the 2004 TV programme Suuret Suomalaiset ("Great Finns"), Larry Thorne was voted the 52nd greatest Finn of all time.

Re: The Moomins – One step away from being Satan's concubine

Thank you much for the original poster. I've been sleepwalking in a land of demons for thirty years now, but maybe your message gives me another chance.

One thing that I'm now most worried about is that I live less than 70 km away from this place:

Is this a safe distance from demon country?

Lauri is a man's name. Lauri Törni aka Larry Thorn is a he. Also, I'll be glad to send you an american documentary about him where his american brothers in arms tell you how he was the bravest, most fearless and most loyal man they ever went to war with.
