The Specials Forces team sent to arrest the old President, also the incoming Governor of Texas, was never officially identified for the public. Much as it was never formally announced that they came from Cannon Air Force Base. Not all dirty laundry must be hung out for all to see. The news of the failed mission ignited a firestorm at Cannon, though. Most of the base’s airmen were shocked to find out that their fellows had been sent to arrest the former President. They understood performing missions of dubious legality in less developed nations to keep the chaos at arm’s length, but a mission like that on American soil was a bridge too far. The new President’s activation of the Insurrection Act against Texas did not change their minds. The active duty military did not deploy on American soil. It was a matter of faith, and their reaction to seeing that faith violated was… explosive.
