And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

During WW2, the Germans built fake wooden airfields with wooden aircraft and vehicles in order to trick the Allies, however, the RAF responded by waiting for them to finish and then dropped a single fake wooden bomb on it.
Kinda like the story of the British airline pilot who was being chastised by a Franfurt ATC. His reply was something to effect of " I'm sorry, the last time I was here, it was at night, and I didn't land"
A story was told in a book about a Sears executive in Japan in the early 70s and at a meeting the Japanese vendors were giving him a hard time. At some point during the meeting, he was asked if this was his first trip to Japan. "No, it's my eighteenth but only the first time I landed."
Stubborn people with a fine sense of humor..
