Swiss Accidentally Invade Liechtenstein

That my friends, is an actual headline on today's NY Times website. Certainly grabs your attention if you're anything like me. So, here are the details:

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.


What a teaser! And that's from the "paper of record". Oy.
