Todd's battle buddy was Sister Montoya, a fifty-two-year old nun. With this new requirement, the army basically began accepting people from everywhere.Physical stamina was still important, but now combatants had to deal with 'Z-Shock,' or losing your head after seeing so many zombies doing the crazy things zombies do (8.2.6). The army also revised what it meant to be a combat grunt.Even their ammo, the 'NATO 5.56 'Cheery PIE,'' was better suited for hunting walkers (8.2.5).Their arsenal now was a Lobo for head bashing and a standard infantry rifle for head shooting-bayonet accessory included if you're feeling sassy with your zombie kills.The BDUs (battle dress uniforms) were interwoven with bite-proof Kevlar but were light and comfy. The only vehicles used were to transport ammo and supplies.Whereas Yonkers was all about the shiny gadgets and modern tech, the new army felt like something from a history book. The new army was very different than the one at Yonkers.

Todd returns to telling us about headhunting days across America. We find ourselves in the Wainio household.They are geared for total war, 100% of the time.

When are they going to sleep? Second, nations have limits: body limits, food limits, resource limits, and on and on. First off, no populace will be 100% in favor of a war all the time. The expression is total bunk, if you ask him.It's the expression used when a country has geared itself for 100-percent, no-holds-barred, hold-on-to-your-butt, warfare. Travis wonders if the Interviewer's heard the expression 'total war' (8.1.13).Zombies aren't restricted by 'bred, fed, and led.' They need no supplies other than humans to munch on and resurrect as one of their own members.What that breaks down to is that you have to breed people to fight, feed them so they can keep fighting, and have someone to lead them to and in the fight. Travis mentions that all armies must be 'bred, fed, and led' (8.1.9).And when the old rules of war predate history itself, rewriting them proves no small task. They had to come up with complete new ones. They couldn't rely on the old rules of war anymore. Truth is Travis was scared to death about sending men to die against two million-count 'em-zombies.He wonders if that surprises the Interviewer, what with all of Hollywood's generals being 'egocentric clowns' in dress blues (8.1.5).Travis mentions how worried he was when the order came in to attack.

They are three thousand feet above Finland because the CIC is a blimp, sorry, dirigible.

The Interviewer continues his discussion with Travis, sorry, General D'Ambrosia in the Command Information Center.
