I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Whenurhappy, I guess that could have been similar to the Iranian system. We watched the night guard being deployed around the airfield. Long line of troops being marched along the surrounding berm. Every 20 yards of so a man would take post. Yu need a lot of manpower to guard a 7 mile perimeter. I would hazard a guess that it wasn't 2 hours on and 4 off either.
