AP reports that the (supposedly) neutral Swiss Army accidentally invaded Liechtenstein last night. What began as a routine training exercise almost ended in an embarrassing diplomatic incident. According to the Swiss daily "Blick" ("View"), 170 Swiss infantry soldiers got lost in the dark and wandered about a mile over the border into neighbouring Liechtenstein. When the mistake was realized, they immediately retreated back into Switzerland.

So, were their Swiss Army Knives sheathed? If not, then clearly they were intending to invade & conquer Leichtenstein with their corkscrews. :)
Somehow or other, I can see the Swiss Army as being something to be feared, even by Leichtenstein.
