It was time to take back the West Coast of the United States! The United States Navy and Marine Corps were finally ready to return home. It had been over a year since the EMP event and not a word had been heard from Southern California or Washington State. Southern California was home to the United States Navy and Marine Corps on the West Coast. Washington State was home to Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force base; it was unusual, at least to the powers that be that these two areas had gone silent. If Central and Northern California had the means to openly communicate then certainly Southern California and Washington State should too, yet it was all quiet. In Southern California and Mexico old rivalries had surfaced; prior to the event Los Angeles had the largest Mexican population outside of Mexico City. Many of them were anti-American and wished for nothing more than the return of the West to Mexico. When the EMP event happened some in Mexico found an opportunity to make that happen. Mexico was able to make do without many of the creature comforts that most in the United States counted on. Much of their military was still intact and could easily operate within the new confines post event. It was time for them to make their move with the help of their Mexican brethren in Los Angeles and the cartels they would redefine the West.In Washington State prior to the event environmentalist ruled with an iron fist they had infiltrated every branch of government. Many of these groups had grown violent over the years and were constantly threatening the State if it didn't fall in line with their beliefs. When the event happened they were an ecstatic bunch this is exactly what they wanted. Now they could become the government they really wanted and fortunately for them the weak leadership at Fort Lewis was more than happy to hand over the reins, but not everyone in the Army and Air Force was onboard. They knew there day would come when they would be able to set the record straight all they had to do was be patient.
