Switzerland Accidently Invades Liechtenstein

Were countries involved something like China and India, Russia and Finland or maybe even Germany and France (again...), we'd possibly have a huge political and diplomatic crisis on our hands. But, alas, it's just a two small countries, one which is neutral all the way and the other which doesn't have an army.

On a routine training exercise, a company of Swiss soldiers got lost at night and marched into neighboring Liechtenstein. (Oops!) 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. Liechtenstein, which has about 34,000 inhabitants and is slightly smaller than Washington DC, doesn't have an army.

Both parties played down the event and let it slip. Shit happens...
