Swiss accidentally invade Liechtenstein

ZURICH, Switzerland - 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.

LMAO, how can you have such a mishap? Just goes to show that Swiss may be good at making things but they sure don't have a clue on how to use some of them.

Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein ?

Maybe they need one of these...

What do you expect from a country of blondes?

Michelle Hunziger could invade North Carolina and I'd be ok with it....

I guess Liechtenstein's border has more holes than that one type of cheese...

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


"Liechtenstein ...... doesn't have an army."
