Todd Wainio in Denver, Colorado
Last night I had an oppurtunity to speak again with Mr. Todd Wainio at his house and we had a conversation about the battle f Yonkers. After the battle at Yonkers, new equipment was given to the soldier in order to fight off the zombies and to survive in dire situations. They were given new armor called BBU, which was navy blue, comfortable, interwoven with Kevlar, had bite-proof threads, and had the option of strong gloves and hoods. They used lobos for neccesary means and their primary weapon was the SIR, a standard infantry rifle. The SIR was a perfect weapon because it would not jam and it was very accurate. It could be turned into a sniper rifle and other types of guns, but it also had a spike which acted like a knife. Their ammo was the NATO 5.56 Cherry PIE. This ammo proved to be powerful as it would fry the brain of a zombie and it was made into an outstanding design. Mr. Wainio said that many soldiers just could not handle the stress and even killed themselves to get out of these situations. He also told me about a stand at Hope, New Mexico. It was a huge stand that was the largest since Yonkers. The battle took place during the middle of the day and it was very quiet outside. Around 1300 hours, or 1 o'clock, zombies started to emerge and they were ordered to take fire. To start the battle and to pump up the soldiers, they played The Trooper by Iron Maiden and this got the soldiers excited and ready. During the war, some zombies were called noobs because they were newly reanimated for about a year. They shot slowly because they had more time to attack because the zombies were slow as well. They had people called Sandlers who refilled ammo supplies and certain points. Zombies now came from all sides but were still not a problem for the soldiers as walls of dead zombies piled up and gave more protection to the soldiers. They knew the battle was over when they stopped shooting and it stopped at around 0400 hours, or 4 o'clock. They killed so many zombies that it is still unknown today and this battle became known as the beginning of the end. From this interview, I now know that we could take back Earth and eradicate zombies entirely.

I was very amused about this story too. I was also surprised that they won.
I do have to agree that the SIR was the most valuable weapon of choice at that time. It was so advanced and very useful considering it was also trustworthy.
