You just pointed out the reason why no one messes with Switzerland's neutrality.

Ed,
I lived in Switzerland in the 70's & 80's for 9 years. It was a whole lot different life-style than England. Lots say the Swiss are stuck-up and no fun. I had a very nice time there. I would go back to live there tomorrow.
It is not a country, more like your place. It is lots of small Cantons like states that work as one. But all are different. In 1 Canton you pay car tax by engine C.C. In another it's the size of the car. They are not Swiss. There are no Swiss Citizens, only Citizens of each Canton. It also works using 4 different languages. I sometimes do not understand how it all works! But it does work. And yes! Don't mess with the Swiss!
Be safe

Question is, who cares for 600.000 men defending mountains, cows & lakes?

You do not need a 1st rate on the Lac Léman, you need it in Toulon or Portsmouth.

The Gnomes of Zurich probably do Sven.
