Sure doesn’t sound like freedom to me.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This has all been done before. Look at the castle towns of Europe. We do have thousands of “gated communities.” It was the same idea in Ireland with their shelter towers (Irish: túrtheach (singular), túrthithe (plural)).

They do not work well and can be destroyed by seige and from the air.But they sure can take a lot of the enemy with them, making the enemy pay big time.A few can even prevail, a very few according to history.
