There were also camouflaged towers alongside narrow highway portions that contained large cement blocks that could be blown up in a specific way to fall across the highway. And other stuff.

@@navaryn2938 heavy tounge in cheeck🤣

As a Swiss with a "Swiss" name ,-), I thank you for your observations, corrections. I don't want to belittle the Swiss armed forces. Not at all. But a lot of other "weak" factors" weren't accounted for. The most important thing in all those "Switzerland Is a Country of War" jubilation videos don't account for one thing: Switzerland was as beligerent as every other European nation at that time. But they (we) drew the right conclusions after a devastating defeat after a war of expansion: Stick to your country. Defend it, yes. But don't ever do a war for territorial gains again. The defeat in the 16 hundreds (the battle of Marignano) was that "official" Switzerland wanted to conquer Italian territory - and they were defeated by Italian forces - mostly "armed" by Swiss soldiers of fortune who were fighting for the other side... Also, with this: Swiss soldiers were traded like commodities since hundreds of years at that time. Sold by the rich class in our country to other forces in whole of Europe. It was not a slave trade, but a Soldier of Fortune-trade. And those who were "sold" did the bidding of other countries. Out of poverty.

Ils serait obliger de defendre notre pays

I love the fact that Liechtenstein can be accidentally invaded.

@@Christian-nj5bq What you describe where mercenaries become debters and fight for the other side is literally the founding history of slavery. The rules just got watered down and countries became loot and contracts unenforceable with failing governments. What won out was the men who traded the most debters and these men were expert at creating debters. It's exactly what happened to Native Americans as well. "explorers" as they're called in American history were these men and they also in essence made a pact with states to reignite the economic influence of government. That was the start of capitalism.

@@Furiends Yes, it is/was a form of slavery. I don't exactly concur with your premise that this was the start of capitalism though ;-). But in essence the mechanism was/is the same.
