70,000 Troops Guarding Olympics
http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/duluthtribune/9346202.htm
"The phalanx of personnel and weapons that will be deployed -- some 70,000
soldiers and police officers -- is nothing short of breathtaking for an
event that is, after all, dedicated to peace and centered on running,
throwing and jumping. A battery of Patriot anti-aircraft missiles will
guard the Olympic Village. Forty Mirage warplanes will take turns
patrolling the skies. Naval ships from Greece, Israel and the U.S. 6th
Fleet will keep watch on the coast."
