So, the U.S. military had downgraded their swords and upgraded their pens. The President’s U.S. Army Seventy-sixth Infowar and Social Adjudication Battalion were basically social workers. They wore crisp white uniforms, and concentrated on language skills, disaster relief measures, stress counseling, light police work, and first aid. Half of them were women, none of them had firearms, and, as a final fillip, they had been ordered into action without any federal funding. In fact, they were already four months behind on their salaries. They’d had to sell their armored personnel carriers just to make ends meet.
