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.
Conscription is incompatible with freedom in Ayn Rand’s fantasy world. In the real world it is quite compatible with freedom.
