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. [Razz]

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

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.

That was supposed to come with their "Swiss Army Knives".

So I guessed the SWISS MISSed their true destination and ended up in another country.

See what I did there.

I don't think they have any attack helicopters, but they do have F/A-18 Hornets and F-5E Tiger IIs.

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.

Don't diss the F-5 - it was one of them dropped that napalm in Apocalypse Now, after all.
