Biography
Thomas Rathsack served with the Royal Life Guards as sergeant before getting accepted into the Jægerkorpset in 1990. After serving, he worked as a civilian with photography and IT, before reenlisting after September 11 attacks. He wrote a book about his experience as a special forces soldier in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, titled Jæger – i krig med eliten (Jaeger: At War with Denmark's Elite Special Forces), which was widely talked about and criticized. He now works as a lecturer. In 2017, he starred in a TV2 produced TV show, which put 30 men through Jægerkorpset like physical tests, to show the extreme conditions aspirants have to endure to get accepted.
