My dear boy, I asked you a question. Draw your own boundaries and answer it for me.

Well, I rather believe that in today's day and age, and even in this reality, a great nation does need a great military. However, if the circumstances today were different I don't think that a great nation would need a great military. In other words, realistically the great nation needs the great military, whereas in a utopistic society there would be no need for the great nation to have the great military.

The United States...Russia...both have great Military Prowess, but both have a Crumbling Economy. Switzerland, on the other hand, has very little Military Prowess, but the Strongest Economy. I would prefer Switzerland.

Who would want to invade Switzerland? They're very neutral and non-threatening.

chaoticpuppet Famicommie Who would want to invade Switzerland? They're very neutral and non-threatening. All the more reason for a takeover. I can imagine a perfect world, a world without hate, a world without war. Then I can imagine us attacking that world because they'd never expect it. xd jokes aside, people have tried to run hostile take-overs of other Countrys before. It seems simple, they just go in and crush the other Country with Military Might. It has happened before. But other Countrys in the International Community feel threatened by this, they react in a retaliatory action and drive teh Hostiles back. I refer you to both World Wars, and Desert Storm.

Yes, this is true. In this example we'll use Switzerland. Let's say that the U.S. tries to take over Switzerland. This will threaten other countries in the international community. These countries will ally together and try to fight off the U.S. (and any allies it may have). Now, Switzerland is joined by many other nations militaries. These nations will make a coalition of some kind. This coalition will have a larger stronger military than if each military were on its own. Thus we can say that Switzerland now, quite possibly, has a stronger military.

One such Military they devoted not so much as a Dime to fund. And it is teh combined forces Military that does not represent Switzerland, nor is it comprised of any Swiss nationals. Thus, Switzerland still doesn't have a Stronger Military, just the fact that the Military Forces surrounding it happen to be a good defense.

It is very small and has lots of mountains, perfect guerilla warfare terrain. Not to mention there are other more easier ways

In very loose terms, and as long as the military fights for Switazerland, it is for all intensive purposes, the Swiss' Military.

Doesn't Switzerland have mandatory military training for all men of the appropriate age?
