The fascists didn't skip over Switzerland because of any niceties or
paperwork. Virtually every Swiss is armed.


Actually, gun ownership rates in Switzerland are much lower than the US.
I think the idea that the establishment of a militia strategy by the
Swiss had anything to do with the observance of Swiss neutrality during
WWII isn't supported by the (overwhelming) majority of historians. The
Axis had little reason to invade Switzerland, and many reasons not to,
almost none of which were military.

The militia strategy for national defense isn't a bad one for small
countries facing threats of invasion.
