Red Star/Lone Star (T2000 v1)
 |
One of the first things you learn when you join the army is not to believe 95% of everything you hear: New York is one big slab of glass...Oregon has seceded from the Union...giant mutant alligators have taken over the Everglades...the Martians have landed in New Jersey. So when we heard that the Russians had invaded Texas¸ we didn't give it much credence. There were Soviet troops in Alaska¸ sure...you can walk form Siberia to Alaskain the winter...but Texas? How did they get there...by disguising themselves as tourists¸ or what?
