RE: The Physiological Thrill of Using a Weapon

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

Many people I spoke of mention the banks and that you don't attack your own bank.

However I don't think so. Switzerland has a militia. On the first glance this is similar to a conscripted reservists army. But there is one important difference: The Swiss militiamen keep there riffle and other military equipment at home.

Switzerland could have mobilised more then half a million armed men in in less then a day. And not just armed but also well trained. The Swiss militiamen have to do mandatory riffle training showing a that they can shoot there weapon with a certain minimum accuracy. Or redo your training until you can.

An accuracy a freshly conscripted soldier can't match. Especially since the Swiss riffles at the day where known for there accuracy. Switzerland still has sporting competition where only militia issued riffles are permitted. The Swiss take great pride in there accuracy.

Would you want to invade a country where half a million sharpshooters are waiting for you hidden behind every bush? Bushes in very difficult terrain. Remember :You have to leave your tank eventually. You can't live in tanks forever.

Mind you: Hitler would have still done it eventually if he had won WWII.

PS: I am a German expat living Switzerland but if Switzerland was attacked today I would take my riffle (yes I have one) and fight side by with the Swiss nationals to defend the country I have lived in for so many years.

Thanks for the response and sharing that link. I will check it out. Yeah, I get ya now. The 3rd Reich was probably waiting until they had all of Europe, Asia and Africa conquered before trying to go for Switzerland. They would of probably needed that extra help.

Sounds like Switzerland may be my kind of place. Is it easy to get in there and become a Citizen? I am looking at options to get out of America before my family and I are killed by our own, violent Citizenry.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Take care! <3
