The Republic of Texas
Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base could legally do nothing about the civil chaos in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Arlington Metroplex surrounding them. They were professional military, not law enforcement, and even the Texas State Guard units on base could not help until the local authorities asked them. The local mayors were not asking for help. Then one night, Lieutenant Jacob Carter of VMFA-112, the Cowboys, caught a gang looting a family home on his way home. He killed them all, and the mayor of Dallas ordered his arrest. Dallas flooded the networks with well-groomed high school pictures, and broadcast stories of the coldhearted murder conducted by a bloodthirsty soldier while innocent children were exercising their First Amendment rights on a peaceful protest. Fort Worth JRB responded by recalling Carter, and the family he’d saved, to the base for protection. When the police came to arrest him, under mayoral orders, the base’s military police smiled and informed them that the base was on lockdown and could not receive visitors. Then the base denied any knowledge of the leaked surveillance video showing the gang looting, torturing, and raping their way through the family home. It finished with Jacob Carter crawling in through a broken window, sneaking up on, and killing each and every member of the gang until the home and family were safe and secure again.
