GENEVA—Even Switzerland’s defense minister Samuel Schmid admitted he was thinking the unthinkable this week when he mooted the end of an age-old tradition that has turned every fit young Swiss man into a combat-ready pillar of the country’s defense force.
Schmid triggered an outcry on August 2 when he raised the idea of abolishing conscription, which in Switzerland uniquely translates into several weeks service a year with the militia army for each adult male until the age of 30.
Next month Switzerland’s government is due to discuss Schmid’s suggestion, which is at one extreme of a range of options the defense ministry is floating for the long-term future.

 Swiss President Samuel Schmid was booed down by 800 Skinheads - Stormfront White Nationalist Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of its continuing as a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.
If this happened here in America, there'd be those that would bad-mouth the antics of the SKINHEADS, criticize their tactics(and then recoil and call their out and out hysterical yapping, "contructive criticism") and ask them to please not attend anymore events with their outlandish behaviour, or, so it seems, as of late.
There also is what Cass Sunstein of University of Chicago, calls 'the law of group polarization.' Bauerlein explains: 'When like-minded people deliberate as an organized group, the general opinion shifts toward extreme versions of their common beliefs.' They become tone-deaf to the way they sound to others outside their closed circle of belief.

In his speech to the WSIS delegates, Schmid had said it was “unacceptable” that some UN members were still locking up their citizens for criticism of the government on the internet or in the media.
He also called for free expression at the WSIS itself, at which point the state-run Tunisian television channel cut to a commentator, and simultaneous translation of Schmid’s speech ceased at the convention center.
The Tunisian embassy had lodged a formal protest with the Swiss government on 10 November, even before the WSIS began, after Leuenberger stated his support for eight Tunisian dissidents who were on hunger strike for freedom of expression, and urged that human rights be discussed at the Tunis summit.
