I've read that book! That undercover cop must have had some seriously big gonads to do what he did.

(Emphasis inserted by me). I think the when of it would be important, at least as important as the mindset and morality of the commander making the decision. Getting the timing wrong could result in there being no "establishment" to bring into Fort Huachuca's hands, or conversely could result in the Phoenix situation being way too much to handle if the warlords managed to get their sh*t together at the same time as Fort Huachuca suffered setbacks in their recovery plans.
Who knows, in late 2001 or beyond Fort Huachuca might get materiel or manpower assistance from MilGov again? Unlikely in the short term I know as MilGov has a lot on its plate and Arizona is very isolated but MilGov might come to the conclusion that assisting and sweet talking SAMAD is a good investment. If MilGov completely ignores SAMAD it will have no say in how things turn out in AZ. Assisting SAMAD would at least open some doors in the future. And if SAMAD received a few thousand reasonably well equipped European Theatre vets in 2002 gaining control of useful parts of metropolitan Phoenix could be a whole lot easier.
Love your work on SAMAD Web. My problem is that my knowledge of AZ is sketchy at best. I'm off to re-read your works in the archive again in case what I've posted today has already been covered and made redundant.
