Ahh, when I did my military service in 1989/1990 we actually invaded Norway
A friend at another company where on an exercise in Jämtland in the winter and they where out on a tough exercise in the mountains along the Norwegian border with lots of snowfall etc... On the second day of the march they crossed a small road where a Norwegian border patrol jeep passed by (they where a company so quite many soldiers). The Norwegian kindly asked if the guns where loaded with live rounds? Yes they answered and the border patrol smiled and said: "As you are in Norway now I guess this could be called an invasion then?". They had taken the wrong valley in the snow storm and after getting some help with the map they humbly aborted the invasion and returned to Swedish soil
