Wasting his majesty's pocket money, as I always have.

Re: Edward Snowden, Hero or Traitor?
Isn't his majesty on a salary? This just sounds very irrational. Is this just a matter of entertainment(?) or a part of some larger plan?

"His majesty's pocket money" refers to the defense budget.
Every krone spent on silliness, is a krone well spent.

But if you waste what's already allocated, won't they just allocate more to make up for your waste? This seems counterproductive.

Nope, the Norwegian army starts calling off exercises when money is tight. Happened the year before my service, actually.

So, what's the benefit of having an army that is not ready to fight?

There's no benefit of having an army that is ready to fight.
There's fewer negatives of having an army that's not ready to fight. They'll be less able to kill people, for starters.
