Hello!

I've had that happen during bike rides on downhill tracks. Always great to meet new friends.

Actually it was just a liaison officer who joined for ceremonial purposes. And they were lucky because they didn't had to fight in a battle.

but were they friends?

[–] sasquash@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

IIRC they also "suffered" three accidental invasions since WWII by the Swiss.

One instance of accidental artillery fire too, 5 training grenades detonated over Malbun, luckily without victims.

And a big ass firestorm caused by rocket training during strong Föhn winds, but again no people were hurt, and we ended up paying them back for the destroyed forest at least. That kind of training is now forbidden during strong winds.
