    I would not say that "Swiss Navy" was an oxymoron per se. The Swiss
    armed forces do have a maritime force but it operates under control of the
    army. They could quite easily designate that force as the Swiss Navy.

    But I'm not sure what your point is apart from
    showing that you know Switzerland is land-locked.

    Which is demonstrating pride in your knowledge.

    It is not your pride getting in the way of you at least recognizing that Swiss navy could be regarded as an oxymoron for obvious reasons?

    You may think you are joking but there IS a Swiss Navy. Lake Geneva and Konstanz both border other countries so they have a navy patrolling those waters. And commercial boats protected, on the Rhine.

    I heard a view that was identified by the speaker as being Jewish. God screwed up in creating everything and needs our help in making things right, but we are among the screwed up things.
