Hey /his/,
I would like to know more about the military in Iceland. I'm not speaking about "vikings xd", but things more recent. Did they play big roles in the world wars? How about things since then?
All I can really find is things regarding the Icelandic coast guard and things.
Thank you for any contributions you may have!

no, they could have been nuked 400 years ago and nothing would have changed in the world

They didn't do much in WW2, I know that. They were occupied by Britain and later the U.S., with some protest, but non-violently. Used as a naval and air base, but again, it was British-American forces stationed there, not the Icelandics themselves.
Dunno about WW1. I assume they were still a Danish quasi-colony/protectorate at the time and thus stayed out of things, but I don't really know.

what military? they have a couple of lightly armed patrol boats and rescue helicopters. There´s a big NATO base there, Keflavik.
