[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1171425, member: 42"] I'm with you on that. There were a lot of factors that kept them from being invaded during WWII...mountains redoubts and armed citizenry are the popular factors that everyone focuses on. But you also have to consider the fact that they played both sides in terms of trade/finance and, most importantly, they had a complete lack of offensive capability which allowed Hitler to "save them for later". Rest assured, if we had not intervened they would have been invaded or at least been turned into a puppet state of the Reich. Now if you would take a country like ours with a strong standing military and combined it with an armed and trained populace...that's something to really contend with. That's what the CMP started out to do many moons ago...but we've become soft. [/QUOTE]
