just admit your assertion was wrong, and we can just move on. stop trying to "rewrite history" as you put it...
No. my assertion was correct. But, the militia/military issue was only one of four causes of Hilter not hitting Switzerland. Still, the militia/military issue was one of the issues. So, I am not wrong.
