Ralph A Stammによれば、1960年代に精神的国土防衛が運動が弱まっていくと、「スイス民間防衛」は発行時点で時代遅れとなり、1980年代には誰も省みなくなった。 http://seesaawiki.jp/atomicage/d/Zivilverteidigungsbuch0040マンセー名無しさん2018/06/11(月) 22:10:29.22ID:jRH/cI2e Why, then, is the book still so popular in Japan? The answer says a lot about the state of Japan today. There are nationalists in Japan who fear a cultural invasion by South Korea, military attacks by North Korea and even a military invasion by China. These people warn that the Japanese are not prepared to defend against such evils. Waving a book written during the Cold War they point to Switzerland and say: “Look at the Swiss, they know how to defend themselves. They have shelters. Everyone is trained in how to stockpile food for times of emergency and how to behave during a nuclear attack”.
What’s wrong with this? Forgive my chuckling, but they are confusing the centuries. In Switzerland, old bunkers have been turned into hotels and shelters are used as wine cellars, but some in Japan still look to Switzerland as a model of civil defense.
To be fair, there are many Swiss (and other Westerners for that matter) who practice Japanese martial arts and think of Japan as the land of the samurai. Just this morning in the news I heard about a Swiss man who attacked a police officer with his samurai sword when he was about to be arrested. When there are people who offer seminars on how to apply Japanese sword-fighting philosophy to business, why not learn from Switzerland about how to defend your country?
