The Primoris Unus

1 Day 641, 03:47 USA
Well as I sit here in my home listening to the reports from the front lines in Massachusetts I find myself very troubled and filled with an urge to write. Don't worry, the eHistory Channel will be back soon enough, but I'd like to talk about the current war going on here at home instead of wars in the past. Think of this as a marathon, if you will, that's coming to you as it happens.

I have been playing the game about eight months now and seen my fair share of wars, but nothing like this. I remember when the US invaded France, back when I was still a newbie. As soon as I learned about the hospital and how it worked I was ecstatic and moved down to Florida so I could take full advantage of it. Almost everyday I was at 90+ wellness thanks to that hospital which caused me to be pro-war. After all, with that wonderful hospital on my side I could work at a Q5 company, eat only Q1 food, train, and fight all in a day as long as I used the hospital afterwards. It was a wonderful time, with experience rolling in from every which way. Then the war was suddenly over and I was set adrift in a sea of low wellness and unemployment. This made me become even more pro-war. I thought as long as there was a war going on somewhere in the world I could partake in, I would never go below 90 wellness again.

But now I realize there can be too much of a good thing. I rather enjoyed the war games we had going on a while back, but this war with PEACE is taking it too far. At first I had hope, thinking that Indonesia would only take two or three states before we kicked their sorry PEACE asses out of our country. Once again I was mistaken. I have sat here and watched as the PEACE war machine has trampled over the only country I've ever called home, and I must admit I am deeply troubled. And now as the enemy is knocking on our capitol's doors I must ask, "How did it come to this? How did the great and noble United States of America get reduced to three states in thirty-nine days?" While I must admit we have held them off for a long time, we should have been able to hold them off until their PEACE swords broke against our United shields. I don't know, perhaps my faith was misplaced. I pray it wasn't though because I'd hate to see the United States be conquered or fall into stagnation because we only have one region left.

I'm not a great visionary, I'm not a wise prophet, I'm not an inspirational hero. I'm just an ordinary citizen who wants to make his voice heard, who wants to motivate people into remembering that they are Americans and that means we do not give up! We do not surrender! We fight and we fight and we stand up for what is right! In the immortal words of Benjamin Franklin, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately" While I know we should keep in game and real life views seperate, I think that this is definitely the approach we should take in this situation. Would you rather die on your feet or live on your knees? If you answered the latter you have forgotten what it means to be an American and I hope you remember before it is too late.
Regardless of whether Russia stops after conquering all of our states, but Florida, or comes and conquers Florida (if they can), we must not give up. We must not lose hope. There is a light at the end of that tunnel, we just have to keep walking towards it. Now whether that light is a train to run us over or our salvation is up to you. Our great nation hinges on whether or not you, the citizens, raise up your arms and fight back the PEACE war machine. Now I'm not even going to pretend I know a thing about politics or war tactics, but I do know that the only way those PEACE soldiers are getting my country from me is when they pry it from my COLD DEAD HANDS! LONG LIVE THE USA!

Well said with a wonderful spirit!

Now, in the words of Mother Jones: "Don't mourn, organize!"
