- This thread is very interesting, but I believe that we should extend
- it and consider the other famous countries with a similar concept in
- militia; that is Israel and Cuba.
-
- Maybe someone with more knowledge can draw a baseline comparison
- between the Swiss and Israeli militias.
-
- Actually, a discussion of the merits and disadvantages of a professional
- militia, a "popular" militia (Swiss) and a mix militia (Israel and
- Cuba) would be most interesting.
-
- What are the tactical implications? What are the strategic
- implications? The economic implications? The equipment implications?
- Training implications? Warning system implications? Was Switzerland not
- invaded in WWII because of his militia? Has Israel being military
- successful because of its popular reserve militia? Has Cuba not being
- invaded by the US because of its militia? Etc?
