> Linus isn't a drill sergeant

That's right, he's actually a lieutenant in reserve of the FDF.

He got his start of leading men by training a bunch of recruits for FDF, and his leadership style "management by Perkele" very closely matches the one found all over in Finland among other reserve leaders (Finland maintains conscription, and officer training is considered a very good experience for leadership roles even outside the military). Not an imitation.
