A firewall is more akin to a specialized filter medium, but filter mediums aren't used as the entrance or exit to a military base.
It is probably possible to find analogies between the information security world and physical - but only on a piecemeal basis, and that is simply irrelevant and pointless.
Peter might be much better to concentrate on the realities and forget about straw-man analogies. What do you think?

Well, you can try to make an analogy between this and a well-secured network. The problem is that the analogies don't align. A firewall isn't really like a gate with an armed guard at it.
