Recent Switzerland

Although Switzerland is known for neutrality, a highly developed militarized society has been established since the 18th century. All males must serve in the citizen's militia until 47 years of age. All males are required to keep an assault rifle & other equipment ready at home. In recent years a referendum has determined that 1/3 of the voters chose to abolish the Swiss army by the year 2000. Another surprising change approved casino gambling to fund social security. [BM] {UA}
