When the Swiss prepare for war they do things well

I always knew that the Swill took the threat of a nuclear war seriously but some people may be suprised as to how seriously they approached preparations.

The following may be of interest

Yeap all the hollowed out fighting positions in the mountains are still there with there cannons and everything. The whole country is fighting positions. My sister in law's boyfriend is Swiss and he has to drill every once in a while. Even though he is not active duty any more he keeps all his equipment and rifle at his house. If the need comes he has a pre positioned place in the mountains to fight from.
