Swiss to vote on ending Militia system

[MikeH]

Would rather have the bombs. **** public health care.

Have tax cuts instead if you want, buy your own guns and bombs if you want them. It's the American way.

[MRT144]

Bad move.

100 dollar bet Switzerland doesnt get invaded during your lifetime.

It'd be awesome if we could buy surplus M67s.

[regexcellent]

I think you can buy the training ones without the DD tax.

According to the article the referendum is expected to fail.

I don't understand why right wing idiots want America to more resemble... say... Somalia.

Yes! AK47's for EVERYBODY!!!!!

[MRT144]

Felch's guns and weed anarchy is slightly less volatile than somalia's guns and hunger anarchy.

[Kuciwalker]

Good for Switzerland.

[regexcellent]

Dude. Grenades are ****ing cool. I think Romanian AK47s (WASRs) can be had here for $400. I suspect they're more available here than in Somalia, though not in full auto.

Well, if everyone's toking up, there's bound to be some hunger too

It wasn't pointless in world war II

what is your point?

[C0ckney]

I know just like it's pointless for most countries to even have an army thanks to the presence of America as the defender of the free world

indeed. if a country gets rid of its army, it can have those people doing economically useful things, instead of being a drain on the country's wealth and a burden upon its taxpayers.

The trick to fighting munchies is to prepare a meal before you smoke, then eat said meal immediately afterwards. Also avoiding strains that cause munchies helps.

Venice maintaining a huge navy and fielding large armies wasn't pointless in the 14th century either, but gosh some things change over time.

Also the Swiss army was not the reason they didn't get invaded by the Germans, the terrain of Switzerland was.

[The Mad Monk]

So the Germans just looked up and said, "nope, not climbing that, lets go freeze on the steppes instead!"

Because if there was one thing the German military was infamous for during WW2, it was making sober assessments of the environment while war planning.
