You never guarded a Pershing II site. The signs on our wire stated
that this was a secure facility, and use of deadly force was
authorized without warning. In English, German, and Dutch. With a cute
little picture of a guy getting shot.

If that didn't deter people, the "Achtung! Minen!" signs should have
done the trick.
