Kennedy 0 #201 March 31, 2005 QuoteQuoteYou still haven't answered the question as to wether or not you have actually been there and spent some time there. I didn't address your question because it is irrelevant. Whether I've seen one of their caves in a mountainside, has no bearing upon how well-versed I am about the Swiss militia system. And apparently, I know more about it than you do. John, by his logic, a hundred year old man would be a more reliable source of information about World War I than a recognized expert in WWI history. Afterall, he's been there, and the PhD has only read about it. Yeah, that makes sense. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,465 #204 March 31, 2005 QuoteNo, as I said, they can use them in civilian shooting competitions, or just take them out to the range on the weekend and plink with them. And that is encouraged by the government to keep people sharp for military service. Since you seem to be so fond of google, look up shooting competitions prior to WWII. QuoteI didn't address your question because it is irrelevant. Really, whenever I talk about anything related to America, the question is usually raised if I have ever been, or have ever lived in the US. Seems to be relevant for quite a few of your contemporaries. QuoteIncorrect yet again. It's to defend against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Wich could include your own government. Not so in Switzerland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
