Day 621 - Washington - Leadership Absent

Day 622, 14:09 Published in Canada Canada by Rolo Tahmasee

This is an cut from another article detailing Jacobi's incompetence. This is only 1 day however.......

Washington State and B.C. - "Defend Washington - 0830" These were the orders. When I logged on at 11:00 pst I saw a wall at -180,000 not exactly a good sign considering we didn't tank Quebec at -70,000 and that had a Q5 hospital and defense system. What did Washington State have that would have led me to believe we would spend our precious (and dwindling) resources there. But the orders were to fight there and throughout the day, with 13 hours left to go the battle was at -293,000 and orders had not change, and I would see Canadian Soldiers using their fight there. At 2:00 am pst the battle was at -547,000, orders still the same and with 15 minutes left - 636,000. I 've never seen a blowout like that before.

Now I have major issues with this battle and the following points speak volumes

1) Washington State? really, no hospital, no defense system, no citizens, and do we not see the battle for B.C. happening shortly thereafter. Would it not be a better idea for our citizens to save their fight/weapons/money for a defense of one of our last strongholds?

2)The Orders - Stayed the same all day - At one point H.Nelson (Hungarian in Canada) posted to fight at all costs in Washington (knowing the battle for his side was won, and have us waste our resources there in a lost cause). Now we know what side he is looking out for, I find it embarrassing for our leadership that their orders were the same as his.

3)Other Opportunities - I had been noting that throughout the day our American Allies were putting up strong fights in their states against Russian/Portugese and Indo's in battles they had a real chance of winning, possibly helping turn the tide in North America. These were brought to the attention of Jacobi and with the battle in Washington at -293,000, the orders to defend Washington still stood

4)Non confidence in the Jacobi Administration - It was stated in the wire service by Kelly Mahoney here

that we were expecting allied armies to help us in the fight. It is obvious that they feel no pressure in keeping their word and to further that, given the battle was a lost cause from the get go at staggering deficits in the battle, I believe the average citizen no longer blindly follows the orders given by the administration. Jacobi has cried "WOLF" so many times with "defend at all cost" only not to do his part, that as citizens and perhaps allied forces we are jaded to the message

5) Tactical Intelligence/Logistics - It was also noted in comments that citizens could have "2 fights" in Washington, their day 621 fight, then a hospital visit and assumingly their day 622 fight. MY GOD - in day 622 B.C. was attacked, Had citizens used their day 622 fight in the Washington State lost cause, what would happen to B.C. People would have nothing left had they followed orders that were NEVER CHANGED, even though circumstances throughout the battle and the day clearly had...
