May 10th, 2010. Armed resistance in the United States ended 145 years ago today. On this day, way back in 1865, newly appointed president, Andrew Johnson, declared that all major fighting east of the Mississippi River had ended, and with the capture of the southern secessionist, Jefferson Davis, the American Civil War was officially over. The last time I checked, the Arizona desert was west of the Mississippi.
Crossing the cautionary, cordoned ropes of the Arizona border, a division of Darger tanks launched a 3-day offensive upon the arid deterrence of the heartless, reptilian heartland. The slithering, protectionist, border defenses were no match for the migratory Darger foot soldiers swarming across the battlefield.
No.7 started the charge with a cannon shot over the central air defenses of Fort Apache, while No.16 continued his bludgeoning run of terror with multiple raids. And No.99 led his first successful campaign since his return to action two days ago. The Calvary charge of No.58 and his cohorts put down the few outbreaks of general uprising by the rattled, rebel forces. W is for Ira B. Hayes.
