Having to defend Gotland against a foreign invasion seemed such a far-fetched notion to Swedish decision-makers at the start of the century that they demilitarized the Baltic Sea island.
Now, the Swedish Armed Forces are back, and they are practicing with U.S. troops not just how to defend the island with a population of 58,000, but how to take it back from a foreign aggressor.

It's best to leave things the way they were, without military presence there, they're wide open for invasion, then it would take time for them to rally troops to retake the island Lt Col Charlie Brown

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Given the option of military presence, over being taken over by invading forces, would probably put things in a different light for the islanders ma'am.
