Reminds me of a story from WW2. Goring was talking to the Swiss leader and asked him how many men he had to defend their border. Half a million was the reply.

German Field Marshal Goring then asked, what will happen if I send a million soldiers to invade Switzerland? The Swiss leader replied: Our men will each have to shoot twice.
