Swiss accidentally invade Liechtenstein
Associated Press
Fri Mar 2, 5:32 PM ET

What began as a routine training exercise almost ended in an embarrassing diplomatic incident after a company of Swiss soldiers got lost at night and marched into neighboring Liechtenstein.

According to Swiss daily Blick, the 170 infantry soldiers wandered just over a mile across an unmarked border into the tiny principality early Thursday before realizing their mistake and turning back.

A spokesman for the Swiss army confirmed the story but said that there were unlikely to be any serious repercussions for the mistaken invasion.

"We've spoken to the authorities in Liechtenstein and it's not a problem," Daniel Reist told The Associated Press.

Officials in Liechtenstein also played down the incident.

Interior ministry spokesman Markus Amman said nobody in Liechtenstein had even noticed the soldiers, who were carrying assault rifles but no ammunition. "It's not like they stormed over here with attack helicopters or something," he said.

Liechtenstein, which has about 34,000 inhabitants and is slightly smaller than Washington DC, doesn't have an army.

Brown water navy invasion. Can't we just show up in my Ford F-150 and drop the tail gate and start the post invasion cooking? Come on.... A company of blind girl scouts in powered whell chairs can take over the country. Hell, I think my dog can take over the damn place.

Grill?????? Sorry my friend I don't grill. I BBQ. Two different things. I'll cook you a pig so good you'll think that you died and went to heaven. I'll bring my home brew kit. Just need to figure it out before I starting making my own beer. I also make my own sangria.
