foreign invaders; you handle the scum in your cities and states. The exception is the Military has a mission to eliminate all large gangs and criminals before totally converting to national security.”
    “How soon can we be trained and start our own militia?”
    “The weapons and ammo will be here in a couple of days and Jim will begin setting up his team’s base of operations this week.”
    “Will there be taxes?”
    Scott laughed and said, “Eventually there has to be a way to pay for roads, schools and defense, so yes there will be taxes, but we have no intention of wasting your money feeding deadbeats, illegal aliens or artwork depicting someone pissing on God.”
    “Will this be a Christian nation?”
    “The USA was founded on Christian beliefs as is the ISA. We will welcome all faiths, but we will not allow anyone to change our core beliefs. You won’t see abortion clinics, mosques hiding terrorists or liberals burning our flag. Our soldiers will shoot on site anyone desecrating our flag. I’m just a soldier and perhaps I didn’t answer all of the questions as well as they should be answered. The governor of the territory will be able to answer all questions.”
    “Major Harris, we like what you said. We know which of our town’s people fall on bad luck and need a helping hand and which ones are slackers. We will help the truly needy and run the scumbag slackers out of town.”
     
    Jim caught Scott after the meeting and said, “I think that we need to add another dozen security and protection trainers immediately. We are going to run into dozens of towns like this and we need to help them stay safe and begin the fight against the bad guys.”
    "Damn Jim, You are right. We also need to have a shipment of small arms, ammo and light machine guns so we can arm our new militia. Thanks!”
     
    They stayed on alert all that night and the next day with no more incidents. They finished searching the ammunition plant and found that many of the storage bunkers had been broken into, but very little had been damaged or stolen. Most of the bunkers contained larger shells ranging from .50cal to 105mm. The two bunkers with 9mm and 5.56 round had been looted, but most of the ammo was still there. They noticed well worn paths to those bunkers and thought that someone was frequently visiting to take more ammo. The tire tracks were from ATVs, which meant they couldn’t haul much at a time. They secured the bunkers, repaired the fences and posted guards until the Navy could fly in enough firepower to secure the plant.
     
    “Scott, give my condolences to the people for the loss of their mayor and tell them that a large force of rangers will be there in the morning and their city will be protected by the ISA from now on. Tell them when we get the plant in operation that we will supply electricity, water and fuel for their town until our engineers can help them become self-sufficient. We can’t do this for every small town, but we have to hold the strategic ones.”
    “Gus, there is enough ammunition stored here to supply the ISA for years and the plant looks like it can easily be started back up and in operation quickly. Many of the people around the town worked at the plant and have the skills to get it going again. They need jobs and we need their expertise. They have already begun to check out the machinery and get the plant ready to go back into operation.”
    “Great job son. Now about those snipers. You are damn lucky to be talking to me. Was the satellite surveillance helpful? Give me an update on what your team has learned about them."
    “The surveillance was just what we needed. My men are good, but these guys covered their tracks better than we have ever seen. They have about thirty men hiding just north of the ammo plant in an abandoned building. They have .308 and .338 sniper rifles and know how to use them. I have a team listening in on their communications back to their base and they definitely aren’t
