In the fall of 2010 central components of the Norwegian self-image were shaken. The media was reporting that Norwegian soldiers in Afghanistan were claiming that war is better than sex and that they screamed cries of "to Valhall" before they went into battle. These soldiers were from the Telemark Battalion, one of the premier divisions in the Norwegian Armed Forces. Military and political leaders were concerned by these references to Norse mythology and the emergence of an alleged warrior culture in parts of the Norwegian military. The media coverage of these controversial events, would last for two years. This long time period allowed for varied opinions to be expressed and many strong reactions to emerge. The media attention could be found both regionally and nationally, and throughout the wide spectrum of media channels. Contributors to this media debate would include politicians, high ranking military officials, newspaper commentators, military chaplains and the soldiers themselves.Due to the the battle cry being used as a key signaling phrase, I will refer to this mediated debate as the "to Valhall" debate.In this book I will be analyzing these events and want to find out what the portrayals and reactions to them show about Norwegian society and most specifically components of a conceived Norwegian cultural identity. I will not be looking at these events through a firsthand account provided by, for example, the soldiers who carried out these actions. I will instead be studying these events and the reactions to them through the mediated picture presented by the Norwegian press. This gives me with the opportunity to look at these events from a different angle and perspective. I will hopefully also be able to observe the relationship between society and the media. Specifically the role that this relationship plays in displaying, reflecting, and producing components a Norwegian cultural identity.
