quote: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.
Er...does Switzerland even have attack helicopters? If so, why?

Oh no. I knew those crazy Swiss were up to no good. This was just a practice run for thier enivitable plot to dominate all of Europe.

I guess someone forgot to buy night vision googles and GPS maps and location devices.

Or did they? Those Swiss, eh? I always suspected that they were up to something, all that smugness and chocolate. Suspect, if you ask me.

The Swiss F-18's don't have ground attack capabilities (i.e. they can't support infantry units from the air), and they stopped making Tigers 20 years ago.
