The news that units from Cannon Air Force Base had been deployed to arrest the former President of the United States hit the base like a bomb. Literally. The majority of the airmen deployed there did not approve of their fellows being used on American soil. The base commander quickly moved to make certain future actions on American soil would be contained before they launched. The President ordered the remaining Special Forces teams at Cannon to arrest the commander and secure the base for future operations. But members of the teams who opposed the arrest publicly announced the orders to the entire base. Decades of terrorist attacks on military bases had long since codified the practice of servicemen working on post with weapons on their person, so the reaction to that announcement was swift and lethal. Shots were fired and Cannon Air Force Base exploded into it’s own small civil war.
