I live in the complex where these missiles are supposed to be deployed.

The part of this situation that upsets me the most is not the missiles, but what comes along with them - the heavily armed soldiers billeted for up to 2 months.

We have no choice in this, and were informed by a leaflet through the door.

This isn't war time and the Olympics only last for a few weeks. We shouldn't have to have soldiers and weapons in a residential complex!

We took care of this potential problem a while ago in America: "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.". I always thought that was one of the sillier amendments to our Constitution.

Unarmed according to The Guardian, may be supported by armed police.

Hang on, so the people guarding the incredibly dangerous surface to air missile aren't going to be armed?

Wonder how long it'll be before you see a SAM in the local Cash Converters.
