Nokian's all-seasons=winter ?

[NIck Miller]

There are quotes from other countries on the finnish army such as:
"God save us all from the terryfing march of the hakkepalles"
And " god save us from the damnable finns!"

Of course translatted but still conveying an effective meaning.

They were some army once.
