Security forces at Vandenberg Air Force Base are allowed to use "deadly force" in some cases if any anti-war demonstrators infiltrate the military complex, officials said.

"This is not fun and games anymore," said Maj. Stacee Bako. "We're living in post 9-11. We don't know what's going to happen with the war effort in Iraq."

The policy will not deter protesters, said Peter Lumsdaine of the Vandenberg Action Coalition, one of the organizers of the planned trespassing.

"I think it does underline that people in the nonviolent resistance movement are willing to take some risks," Lumsdaine said.
Get 'em, Bako! Maybe if a couple of them get picked off, the rest of these nuts will figure out that this isn't a game and go the hell home.

Live rounds and aim for their pinheads! We'll need to save the organs for illegal immigrants
But let's hope they don't get sent to Duke Med. Center for the operation.
