Todd Wainio: Denver, Colorado, USA

Today I interviewed Todd Wainio, a soldier in the, what I will call, 'reclamation army'. Once total war against the infected had been called about the army was re-outfitted and retrained. He talked about how the army was unmechanized, removal of almost all offensive attack vehicles, like tanks and Bradleys, the only vehicles they had were armored vehicles and Humvees for transport. The normal gear and armor was replaced with navy blue BDUs, just light, bite-proof combat armor. The entire army was re-outfitted with SIRs, standard infantry rifles, that were cheap and easy to mass produce. They were reliable and never jammed, they fired standard NATO 5.56 "Cherry PIE" rounds, PIE standing for pyrotechnically initiated explosive. Easy one hit kills against zombies if shot into the head. The army had been trained and practiced shooting under metronome, firing a bullet every second and relaxing, but keeping alert, in between to create maximum efficiency and accuracy. The next largest engagement beside Yonkers was held at Watershed. The army set up a defensive position in a wide area with easy LOS, line of sight, Todd explained. They dug out trenches and marked the field with orange Day-Glo tape every ten meters to mark distances. They had set up their position and started calling attention to themselves to attract the zombies and get the chain attack going, as the zombies moan they call attention to other zombies miles away and bring them all in from everywhere. The army had "Sandlers", who were used as the Recharge Team, bringing ammo to whoever ran out so that the rate of fire never ceased for too long. As the fight wore off into the night they started swarming from all sides and the army moved into a reinforced square, covering all sides that they were being attacked from and killing all the zombies. The zombies never even got close enough to have the soldiers resort to hand-to-hand combat. He said that the engagement ended at what he would guess to be 0400, the last infected emerging just at the start of dawn. As the sun let out its light it was revealed that there were so many zombies that they hand been completely encircled by a twenty-foot wall over a hundred feet deep of dead infected bodies. At the end the men got to rest and they moved on, they were "reclaiming our future".

General D'Ambrosia: Aboard the Mauro Altieri, Three Thousand Feet Above Vaalajarvi, Finland

Today I interview General D'Ambrosia, he explained what the 'Brass', army commanders, had gone through trying to organize the army for the offensive. The zombies didn't need supplies, moral, or even a centralized command. They just chained together for their next meal. This was a nightmare for army commanders because all basic and conventional tactics had become useless, you couldn't starve them, you couldn't assassinate their leader, you couldn't block off all their supply routes. He also explains why 'total war' is impossible. It is impossible because no country has the strength to commanded all 100% of its populace to fight, it just isn't possible because it would require having children and elderly people to fight when they can't. But the zombies could, they were the only know people in the world throughout time that could actually wage total war because they had a mind for nothing else. All in all the idea of total war for the commanders was an utter nightmare and impossible to fathom.

Terry Knox: Sydney, Australia

Today I interviewed Terry Knox, the first and only Australian commander of the International Space Station. The ISS was one of the greatest marvels of human engineering, a giant platform in space that could be seen from Earth with the naked eye. The purpose of the platform was to refuel all the satellites in space so that none of them would fly into the gravitational pull of the Earth and be ruined, this was much more effective than sending up a ship and crew to refuel individual satellites when they were running low. He and his crew had been given the option to escape from the ISS during the war, but they refused due to leaving such a magnificent feet alone to float through space and it was obviously safer up there. His crew and himself had been able to observe every single event that happened on Earth as well from the space platform, watching humanity slowly die out. He said he would do it all over again if he could, after I had interviewed him. He had been exposed to tremendous amounts of ultraviolet light without protective gear and was on his deathbed at the time. I honestly am jealous of him, it would've been a great experience to have been up there.

Barati Palshigar: Ulithi Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia

Today I interviewed Barati Palshigar, a member of Radio Free Earth. Their job was to report on the combat the misinformation that the public had established. Helping to make sure that people knew what was really going on. During the interview he talked about people who thought of World War Z as the rapture and that the world was ending, they would rape virgins in order to become cleansed of their "curse". The problem was that they couldn't report on each call that they had coming into them from people all over the world in different languages and everything. The IR, information reception, clerks were the ones receiving all these calls and the only thing that they could do was sit and listen to the pain and agony and eventually they all killed themselves not wanting to live with the memories. I find this whole operation might not have been worth it to create false hopes for some, but for the greater good, I think it was.

Kondo Tatsumi: Kyoto, Japan

Today I interviewed Kondo Tatsumi. He was an otaku, an outsider, which in Japanese society is a 'ribbon of shame' whereas in America it is like a 'badge of honor'. He was different from the crowd as in the fact that he didn't really care about the world, he cared about cyberspace. He devoted his life to it and researching and finding out the newest information and news about the zombie infestations around the world with his own group there to comment on his findings. As his group became infected he eventually gave up and had to get away, his parents had become infected or had fled without him for all he knew. He put his knowledge that he had gained from research underway and escape the apartment building while gather supplies and such. I honestly don't know what to think of Kondo though, he was odd to say the least. The fact that he couldn't care about anything except his cyberworld seemed stupid to me, but it was basically all he had known in his life. To this day he has been trying to figure out what happened to his parents.

Colonel Christina Eliopolis: Parnell Air National Guard Base, Tennessee

Today I interviewed Colonel Christina Eliopolis, she was a Raptor pilot for the USAF. She had just become a Raptor pilot right around the time when the zombie war had started, and since artillery and bombs were virtually useless against the zombies the Raptor pilots were disbanded to some other part of the USAF. They were normally reassigned to piloting cargo planes that dropped supplies on safe zones. This had frustrated her greatly and she became angry with the DeStRes "experts". During one of her cross country delivery flights something went horribly wrong and the tail of the plane broke off. She was thrown out of the plane with nothing except her survival pack. When she landed she noticed that her radio had been destroyed after a visual inspection of it, but a skywatcher had started to contact her. Colonel Eliopolis had landed in a infested swamp and needed to get out of it and the skywatchers' jobs were to help get pilots that got stranded to safety. The problem was though that after a long journey to the main highway to get picked up by helicopter, but the helicopter wasn't government or official skywatcher transport. It was just a regular helicopter doing runs and the pilot had no idea what she was talking about when Colonel Eliopolis said they were just on time. The USAF thinks that Colonel Eliopolis had just conjured the thought of the skywatcher up to help herself make it throught he swamp, that it was all in her head. Of course, it makes a lot more sense than what Colonel Eliopolis had told me, but she herself denies that it was just an imaginary person. Even though all evidence supported that it was and she had just psychologically broke down. I'm not entirely sure what to believe, but I think regardless that the only reason she is alive today is because of that skywatcher whether or not she was real.

Philip Adler: Armagh, Ireland

I interviewed Philip Adler today. He was a soldier, but also a West German. The significance of being a West German was that they never forgave themselves for the atrocities committed in World War II. In East Germany on the other hand they were told that they were not responsible for the atrocities and that they were good communists. This had a direct impact on Philip because he was given the order to leave hundreds of refugees alone to act as fodder for the zombies while the unit pulled out. He didn't want to comply with this order though and hated General Lang for ordering him to do it. What made him hate General Lang even more was that he admitted to everyone that he couldn't live with himself and handle the burden of remembering this and killed himself. Philip lost all respect for him because of this, he ordered mass murder and killed himself because he couldn't handle what he had just done. He couldn't have even waited for him to let him kill him. This order was given under the Prochnow Plan, which was the German version of the Redeker Plan, but even after Philip had learned of why he was ordered to do what he did he still hated General Lang. He hated him because General Lang knew it was the beginning of a long war and that he was one of the people needed to make it successful, but gave up. I don't take pity on General Lang either, but I find Philip's attitude towards his commanding officer to be slightly disturbing.
