As a neutral nation you need to have some way to ensure that neutrality as there is no NATO or other group of nations to have your back.

Hence the military spending.

Ah yes. I’m very scared of a French/German/Italian/Lichtensteinian Invasion.

It’s totally smart to have obligatory military service in these circumstances, and to force every man to have a gun in his home for defense, and to force every home to build an underground bunker. (Our government is paranoid asf). And the arms industry have strong lobby.
