OLYMPICS : TROOPS GEAR UP IN THOUSANDS.

When I wrote about Olympic security issues earlier, I was unaware of quite how great the deployment of service personnel is going to be.

Apparently, we will have 17,500 assorted servicemen and women undertaking security duties. Pardon me for wondering, but are we putting on a sporting event or countering a foreign invasion ? If the Olympics really need this level of military involvement in order to maintain security and order, is it not time the whole shenanigans was dumped ?
