| In Switzerland, you're required to join the military, when you get to be 19, REQUIRED at all times, that's not all, they're required to bring their gun home with them, and keep it forever with ammunition supplied by the government also. |

| You're not required to be in the military, but required to do military training. With exceptions, obviously. |

| This is a smart idea. As George Washington said: "The best way to Preserve Peace is to prepare for war." |

"That is a smart idea."
It is smart to let the government force people to do things. I agree. |

"In Switzerland, you're required to join the military, when you get to be 19"
The vast majority of men are conscripted into the national militia between 20 and 30 for the purpose of military training.
Switzerland has no standing military.
Weapons of the militia are kept at home as part of the military obligations, consequently Switzerland has one of the highest militia gun ownership rates in the world. Though, in general, only about 30% of Swiss citizens own a firearm. |

| The Swiss militia is in no way a military power and the Swiss people are actually typically considered to be more docile and friendly than others, so... |

@Texar Considered docile and friendly, not docile at all, they stay neutral in conflicts because it's smart if you think about it to avoid conflicts if you can. |

When was Switzerland ever associated with being weak?
All the nations of Europe have feared invading that country not only because their military and the fact everyone is required to own a weapon, but also Swiss banks. |
