Probably the Royal Marines. They are notorious for being unable to
navigate. They once landed in Spain instead of Gibraltar when on a
coastal patrol.

The difference is only a few yards, there are no signs saying 'you
are entering Spain' nor is there a demarcating fence at the place
they were practicing landing on a beach.

Isn't that like saying "A little pregnant" or "The bullet *almost*
missed him"? International incidents have been caused by very small
pieces of real estate...it's something about territorial integrity,
something Washington seems to be painfully unaware of.

Where did you see anything that mentioned them as 'inflatables'?
