Including the concealed SMG under the fine threads to use on anyone who care to make fun of his uniform?

This doesn't apply anymore, but at one time, the Swiss Army had the best tanks in the world.  In 1946, they had equipped themselves with German Panthers and Stugs.

The Swiss are the living embodiment of the phrase "Peace Through Strength."

Because of the large proportion of trained soldiers for such a small population, and the rugged terrain of their country, the Swiss have stoutly maintained their independence and their neutrality in the face of much larger aggressors.  

As a result, the Swiss have not had to fight a war in more than 200 years.

Hitler passed on the suggestion that Switzerland be invaded during World War II because his generals felt that the cost would be prohibitive.

The Swiss soldiers do manage to keep their weapons and ammunition in their homes without murdering each other.....which casts considerable doubt on the anti-gun premise that the mere presence of guns leads to violence.

They make damn nice rifles. The Swiss K31 I recently purchased has become one of my favorite rifles. Damn accurate and a nice two-stage trigger.

I find it difficult to believe that anything formidable can come out of a country who has made it against the law for parents to spank their kids.  They're the *kinder, gentler* people.

yawn. its easy to be a big man when until recently, your country could be defended by a gaggle of schoolgirls with a big bag of marbles
