Forlat, jag pratar inte svenska (this the only thing I remember how to say in Swedish, which is ironic because it’s actually completely useless to use in conversation - every time I said it while I was there, people didn’t know what to say next)
As the other poster said, it’s just a joke - there’s a stereotype about sailors finding comfort with each other while they’re stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere.
Har sjömän större chans att vara bögar eller? Är jag i fel yrke, månne?
It was (is?) a long standing joke or inference that the US Navy attracts gay dudes. I’ve never looked to see where this came from because I never really cared, but it’s there. The joke seems to be dying, thankfully.
Should have used the Navy rather than the Army.
the army would never put gays in front line combat. it’s established army doctrine that they’re too precious.
The Onion has confirmed we are worth seven lives.
with inflation i’m sure it’s up to eight by now
Försvarsmakten (Swedish Armed Forces) is the umbrella the army, navy, air force, and home guard exist under.
Tack, but it was just a joke about sailors.

Don’t mind if I do
Sweden: Gay since 1945!
It’s less about attracting gay dudes and more about not having much choice (hence the saying, “it’s not gay if you’re underway”)
ALL BRANCHES!
The Gayvy?
Navy joke is mandatory.
