Also, America is harder to attack than Switzerland. They are surrounded by other nations and America has an ocean on either side and only 2 nations bordering ours.

America was attacked.
You can't imagine a war where a nation had to cross an ocean to attack and was successful? Cause that's half of them recently, starting with WW2. You can't imagine asymmetric warfare being an issue?
From what I can tell, Switzerland wasn't attacked because
A) its only strategy was defense, which was made possible by geography (a limited number of passable chokepoints) and the enlistment of 20% of its population into the army;
B) its economic concessions to Germany (why concentrate on taking it when it's giving you all you need anyway?), and
C) its basic aversion to nazism and distrust of the Germans made it a harder pill to swallow.
Hitler would have gotten back to Switzerland. He just moved it down the list and then his list got tore up before he could finish it.
