    Nothing.

    If you want your citizens to be loyal, give them a good life, not a brainwashing.

    I am a Swede, my life has been good, I may not be physically fit for fighting, but I absolutely would join the military and do support for the fighting for Sweden if needed.

      I’m an American moving to Sweden right now.

      I’d fight for you in a second. You’re good people and I don’t think you’d start shit without a reason.

      So I guess “And you have my state of the art military AI drone technology!”
