Anyway, the context was with guns. Would you support issuing an automatic rifle to every male over 18 as part of a defense strategy?
If he's a conscript trainee yeah i would, otherwise its a stupid idea in any country.
Anyway, how are median incomes looking like? How about cost of living (or inflation) vs median income (or per capita GDP)? Why is the infrastructure in such poor shape?
Money.
Germany would have sustained heavy casualties with Swiss invasion.
Rubbish.
Germans didnt attack Switzerland because:
1. German speaking 75% majority of Switzerland hated Nazism and there was no hope of Austria like anschluss.
2.The Swiss would blow up tunnels and bridges critical for transport from Italy effectively ******* up some of the most crucial rail routes for years.
3. The Swiss bought german gold and were the only real source of exchangeable currency as german money was no longer internationally recognized.
As far as military Germans could basically drive to Swiss capital in 4-5 days with a single tank regiment.
