CHAPTER FIFTEEN
In the piney woods of Pennsylvania, a horde of militia leaders gathered to meet with General Haufman and receive their orders. Behind them, scattered throughout the forest, were thousands of would-be soldiers. They came from all corners of the United States, deluded by a cause they felt was their right—their constitutional right—to not only question the government, but to change it, mold it into what they believed was right. They wore pseudo-military uniforms, mostly camouflage of varying types. Some wore the typical green, black, and brown swatched clothing. Some wore desert tan digitalized type, while others wore the forest pine type, popular with deer hunters. Still, many wore black SWAT type clothing. They all felt they were in proper military gear. The only common gear they wore was a grey corps ball cap, issued upon their arrival, that had a winged skull and the words “NEW U.S.” embroidered across the crown. This distinction would be most important when they began occupying cities that, inevitably, would fall victim to chaos, looting, hoarding, and murder.
Haufman stood in front of them, standing in the bed of a military transport vehicle, a public address system in place. His own grey cap atop his head, uniquely adorned with four black stars across the brim. “Good morning, warriors!” he declared.
“Good morning, sir!” came back in a thunderous wave.
Haufman looked around, as if his gaze could meet the eyes of every man there.
“Men, the time has come for us to take back our country. The plans we have been laboring on for years will come to fruition within the next few days. We must be prepared. We will be facing a disaster, the likes of which this great nation has never seen, and for which few have prepared.” He paused for effect, and to let the applause die down, then went on, “But, we have prepared. We have trained and waited for a time when we could offer our services and our devotion to this great country and its original Constitution. That time is now.”
A cheer went out that echoed through the valleys. Farmers and residents in the area, believing a military training session was taking place, looked up but were not alarmed. There had been military exercises within the government-owned area previously. Locals believed they were safe and secure and even found comfort by the Army’s presence. They could not have known this was not the Army or any other sanctioned group of Armed Forces.
Haufman continued, “Yes, there will be losses. But, we will not face them alone. Now, we have an ally, a leader who wants to see the changes we want to see. Vice President Proger will be our new President. He is with us, and he will be the strength we have wanted for our nation for years. Together, we will create a New Dawn for this country that our forefathers fought to hold free.” Loud cheers and applause filled the air again.
“Our strategy will be this, gentlemen,” the general went on.
