At first I was unhappy with the portrayal of the military personnel in this section. My initial impression was that it was a far stretch for discipline to break down so quickly. However, as I have had more time to think on it, there is a plausible explanation for their behavior. I am just going to assume that they were National Guardsmen who deserted, maybe just some VM folks who decided to go AWOL. Regular military have access to a sheer amount of supplies that is almost obscene and would not need to loot a Wal-Mart in the first place. It also explains how a civilian, however trained, could get the best of 4 military, they were probably REMF's and had little to no combat experience. My expertise comes from 17 years of military service, several of which were spent deployed.
