Antonio Cesaro. All males in Switzerland are conscripted when they reach the age of majority and usually serve between the ages of 16 and 20, while Cesaro didn't receive his Green Card until his mid 20s so odds are he did his stint in the armed forces. Why on earth does Switzerland have a military? |

Why on earth does Switzerland have a military? To be able to enforce their sovereignty and protect their people if necessary? Same reason everybody else does. |

I don't think Bearer ever wrestled, but close enough, really. Moody/Pringle/Bearer started out as a wrestler, and was trained at the same time with Kamala, Terry Gordy and Michael Hayes. He didn't wrestle long, as one of the bookers he worked for asked him to do a manager gimmick and he found he preferred it. |

Why on earth does Switzerland have a military? I think the original reason is because they're a small nation surrounded by several considerably more powerful ones with a historical claim to some of it's territory, if not all of it, and neutrality is no guarantee others will play nice... Now while they have much less to fear, they're a country where a lot of the population are elderly and rural, or rich elderly immigrants, so getting rid of the unnecessary draft and largely pointless army is all but impossible. |

Why on earth does Switzerland have a military? Same reason they have hidden tunnels and artillery hidden in many of their buildings: to maintain their neutrality and not be forced into a conflict with others or annexed. |

Why on earth does Switzerland have a military? To maintain copyrights on Army Knives. And to guard their supply of chocolate and cheese. It must be defended at all costs! |
