According to Stephen P. Halbrook, author of a book called "Target Switzerland," the story is as follows: "Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: 'You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?' The soldier replied: 'We will shoot twice and go home.'"
There's a reason they have been ABLE to remain neutral in so many conflicts. Also, they refused to join the European Union.
