re: Switzerland admits that its military is incapable of defending itself.

The Swiss require their citizens to serve and train in their military. If I am not mistaken, everyone must serve at least 1 year. They give them a rifle that they get to keep, but they are not allowed to actually use it unless they are called up by the government to do so. They are also a "true democracy". Meaning, no electoral college. Every vote is counted. If you want to move to Switzerland, the community you move into votes on if they will take you in. I used to work for a Swiss owned company.

All true. One of the lowest crime rates in world and everyone owns a state issued weapon. But unfortunately Switzerland would not stand a chance if attacked by a more powerful country.
