Google “shoot twice and go home”.
It’s the reason Switzerland was the only country not invaded in WWII.

Or for the last 800 years, now that I think of it.

Thanks. I followed your suggestion and found this:

“HALBROOK: Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: “You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?” The soldier replied: “We will shoot twice and go home.”
