Pas de Patrouille Suisse

After it became known that the Swiss aviation weapon for cost reasons only during office hours Defense Minister Ueli Maurer has a new cost reduction proposal: the Abolish Patrouille Suisse. On the one hand, a clever move, because the SVP Federal Council knows where it hurts the Swiss soul and thus passes the ball to politics. On the other questionable, because the Patrouille Suisse is the visible link between the people and the army. But no sooner have the abolition plans been pronounced, is stirring resistance. And so there remains hope to see the popular photo subjects in the sky in the future.

In addition, unambiguous caricatures are circulating.
