If they are in it to kill the islam threat, then go for it!
Urine be upon the filthy islam filth.
Seems like the male conscription + female volunteer system was already pulling in the capable women that the military needed. Of course, Switzerland taxes the citizens who cannot serve or refuse to, so maybe this is an underhanded money grab.
Nuts
Not enough men in Switzerland? Or perhaps the Swiss are anticipating an external problem...
Switzerland is good country. The only area besides Italy and Ireland I’d be inclined to visit.
There’s no better way to lower the birth rate. If there’s a war, it gets even worse.
It would be interesting if we did that here. Two years of service in any branch of the military or Peace Corps, Americorps,or US Public Health Service. Buy out $100,000.
Switzerland has always been a puzzle for me. Requiring military service is not in accord with liberal freedoms, yet they are a country not willing to let someone else pull the weight for their own defense. They kept Nazi confiscated gold which was reprehensible, yet provide protection for money against state interference.
They also function too much on referendum to make decisions.
Keep in mind that nearly every home in Switzerland has a battle rifle and ammunition in it. Shooting is pretty much the national sport. If you enter a contest over there it’s quite likely you’ll get your ass handed to you by a 17 year old girl.
