I’ve seen what they can do with a knife so I can only imagine what they’re tanks can do.

Hey, go easy on him. He probably had a public education in the last 30 years. :)

Why No One Ever Invades Switzerland...

I'm sure all those numbered Swiss Bank accounts have nothing to do with it.

I have to respectfully disagree. The main reason Switzerland hasn’t been invaded is not their neutrality or guns, it’s their geography. Being located in high mountains makes it very difficult.

CORRECTION

There are 3.5M Swiss households... yet only 600K of those have a SIG 550 in the home.

But nearly every home is armed with one of the previously issued weapons or hunting rifles

I wonder if the bicycling girls are really Swiss. I don't think their citizen-soldiers are allowed to be so open with their weapons.

I'd guess instead that they are two Americans going to a rifle range. Or perhaps two Israeli reservists.

And one more thing. It's my understanding that even though Swiss reservists keep their weapons at home, the ammunition is stored elsewhere. Even the Swiss are getting PC.

I have mixed feeling here. It is good that the Swiss depend only on themselves to enforce their neutrality. Hitler knew better than to try to go through their territory. On the other hand if Europe became the new Reich how long would Hitler have tolerated a independent Swiss territory?

I too have thought quite a bit about that when studying history of WWII
