Poll question: what are the chances of a Switzerland/Sweden War? |
|
Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 05:26 PM by pres2032
neither country has engaged in war for centuries. You know both are itching for a fight and you know the countries that have actually fought in wars aren't gonna wanna fight. You have to admit, seeing the mighty Swiss army battling the equally mighty Swede Army would be entertaining.
So what are the odds we see a Swiss/Swede War???

4. yes, a pretty damn good one |
|
they provide all the security for the Pope and Vatican City. they are VERY highly trained and armed. To be honest, they could easily kick the crap out of the Swedes and its one of the reasons Hitler never invaded them.

6. Hitler didn't invade them because it wasn't worth it |
|
They were already taking in his Gold for safe storage.
They were already selling him armaments.
Invading them would have just made their armaments factories into US targets

7. swiss also made their mountains into a fortress |
|
with tons of tunnels and Artillery bunkers. Hitler would've suffered many casulties taking them, which he would've done, but at a high cost. It's also in the Swiss Constitution that every citizen serve in the army.

10. The Germans had no intention of doing it though |
|
Switzerland was more useful as a neutral (albeit cooperative) neighbor
