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.

Yes. Call me weird, but when we landed in Zurich the sight of officers walking around with full automatics in the airport gave me a sense of peace.

Apparently however Swiss officials can stop a citizen say in Zurich and demand identification. I don’t agree with that.
