kumquatq3 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070302/ap_on_...staken_invasion Mildly amusing: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantousent Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm just uncomfortable with Hilde. I do have a question though. Why do the French have three colors in their flag when they only use one?

Balthamael Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 'France surrenders' jokes stopped being funny...well, truth to be told, I am not sure if they ever were funny. I guess they would have to have been, sometime, otherwise people wouldn't keep telling them. Might have been before I was born, though. Anyway, is this actually the first time the Swiss invade somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm just uncomfortable with Hilde. I do have a question though. Why do the French have three colors in their flag when they only use one? It's basically a merger of two flags during the french revolution, the traditional royal flag (the white flag) and the coat of arms of the city of Paris (red and blue). I guess in times of conflict, they revert to old habits and just hoist the traditional white flag “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Walsingham Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I suppose you noticed that the missile in question is a US TOW? The United States, incidentally, famous for only joining in a fight when it was basically over *cheek*. As one German officer put it "You have the Americans, we have the Italians." In any event, racial steroetyping may be fun, but this particular variant has run its course. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Cantousent Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Have we offended someone with our barbs? I wouldn't want to do that. ...But, on the other hand, barbs concerning my religion are beneath notice while some pretty damned low key quips about the French are real no-nos. I'm just wondering, for the sake of argument, if this constitutes policy on these boards now?

Anyway, is this actually the first time the Swiss invade somewhere? Yes, at least under their own banner...
