As I recall, the first war with Mexico was set off over a dispute over the southern Texas border,
combined with a pack of lies.... (although the real cause was that we wanted more

Seriously, the headlines this story is generating are misleading,
since the people involved were 'contractors' and NOT actual U.S. soldiers...
although they should have been better informed and known how to use GPS, it appears they didn't.
