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."
