Happy Times - I am a great fan of both guns and mortars. They are, I think, complimentary. In Afghanistan however, lacking the sophisticated survey and rangefinding equipment needed for a first-round hit in rugged terrain, correction would have to be by old-fashioned '50 Up, 75 Left' method - and around built-up ISAF bases, that's unhealthy. Fortunately.
I would love to be able to visit Finland sometime. Beautiful women, a remarkable history and climate that's never 140 in the shade - what's not to like?
