Because seriously, who wants to steal a cuckoo clock?

In Switzerland people feel that they belong to their country and their country belongs to them. Universal service when young instills a sense of national identity.

Awesome. Too bad we have so many anti-gun bed wetters to worry about over here.

ps: I bought the 'Notebooks of Lazarus Long' in '78 and it is as pertinent now as it was then - immortal philosophies.

Unversal service isn't a bad idea. If the military isn't appropriate for everyone, something else could be found.

Faced with an imminent threat of invasion by BOTH Germany and Italy in 1940, the Swiss men took their rifles, one-thousand rounds of ammunition each, abandoned the cities and went into the mountains.
