Dude, don't do shit i know loads of people who act in the same way only when they are drunk , my hometown was destroyed in the war 16 yeras ago, and most of the people i know where in the same situation as your friend, and yes they go krazy every weekend when they get drunk , they threaten to kill somebody or some shit like that but they don't do nothing , my advice is keep away from him and that's it, the worst thing you could do is report him to the authorities , trust me.
You have a point, but you have to keep in mind that those you're mentioning had others who they could relate to. Not to mention that you had this war on your front lawn, while this guy is pretty much alone. He has no one around he can talk to; someone who went through the same thing as him, and he can't expect regular Swedish people to understand him because they haven't seen war or devestation for over 200 years.
My suggestion is to anonymously report the guy, he's suicidal from the way you describe him. I doubt he's a danger to others though.
Btw, was he a legosoldat?

That's some scary shit man. I'd stay away from him, he may or may not explode any day now but you definetly don't wanna be there when and if he does. You definetly don't wanna start ignoring him immediatelly though. When you see him next time sober, be cool and say normal stuff like; "dude we really got shitfaced that last time". Slowly, start avoiding him if that is at all possible considering you hang in the same crowd. Or speak to that friend of yours, you definetly don't wanna go reporting him to any authority though.
Sadomin, this is really sad and it is good that you were able to calm him and leave. Nevertheless you should not sleep on the incident and feel yourself lucky that he chose to talk to you about it. When such a person gets to talk to someone about his personal problems it means that he is ready to seek help and this is good. You should in no way call anyone behind his back (on first attempt).
My suggestion is as follows, you being the concerned person can meet up with him with the presence of another person (without the other person knowing) but only because you need someone. Meeting him alone is not recommended especially if you are to meet him to tell him that you are concerned about him and that he needs help. The Swedish army have these centers that help such kinds of problems and this is where he probably should be going, but you have convince him that he seeked help with you but specialists can even help him more. You can talk him over that these people will never treat him as a crazy or dangerous person, he will be treated as a patient and it is good for him (don't mention that he is danger to others).
If this fails, which I hope it doesn't, then you should call someone who can guide on where to seek help. You can always make an anonymous call and brief the situation and they will tell you who to call and what to do.
What I really hope is that you can talk him over and not rely on the second option.
Good luck.

See if you can get him off the alcohol and pills. Take him to see someone who will help with his depression and try to get him to talk to you and your friends a lot. Talk about normal things though, try to keep his mind off what happened at war.
I hope this is not a big problem and he is good in the future dude.

Imagine the next time they meet up, that army guy comes up to Sadomin, and he's like: "Dude, you got so wasted last night, you started seeing things and tripping out all of a sudden, punching the air and telling me how you hate everyone. I got so scared I started waving my knives so you calm down and shit... wtf happened to you ? All I did was show you some baby pictures of me" :wth:
I know alot of american soldiers who served in Iraq and many of them had lots of troubles. A good friend of mine was in a crowded area in a very hostile muslim neighboorhood. and there was a group of iraqis crowded around their convoy to see the americans and this was very ealry in the war just after saddam was ousted so they were keen to get a first glance at american soldiers. Unfortunately several men ran out of the crowd and attempted to suicide bomb the convoy. The noise frightened the civilians and they began running towards the americans for help. The soldiers thought they had bombs too and began to open fire on the innocent civilians. My friend sayed he didnt sleep for three days afterwards. He says he has nightmares everynight about a woman and her small child whom he killed in the crossfire. You are right about the drinking thing. After a series of bad incidents my friend has been sober for over a year.
how calm
I don't think you can help him. I mean, professional help seems to be adviced here. Then again, you'd have to be a complete monster to have partecipated in a war and not consider yourself a "terrible person" shortly afterwards. As bad as it sounds, it's human nature. I obviously didn't see the whole incident, but what makes you so sure he's a threat to his environment? The guy has been at war...
