ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) - 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.

Aggression must be stopped!

Having supposedly invented the Cuckoo clock perhaps they should now have a crack at the compass.

If not perhaps they should have.

Looks like they have to train them to use it!
