The Plastic Soldiers Are Coming! The Plastic Soldiers Are Coming!1

Facing only token resistance, Hilton's Heroes successfully established a beachhead (as it were) in the sleepy coastal town of Mendocino, California. Here they are greeted with flowers and hemp-based clothing at a countercultural products shop. Moving swiftly to seize key communications facilities, they occupy the local internet cafe. If this little soldier seems a bit jittery, it's not fear; it's the double espresso he just downed. Information management is essential to any successful occupation. This soldier is in the process of securing the offices of the Mendocino Beacon (which also happens to be the yarn store--don't ask me how that works), giving Hilton's Heroes a platform for their essential message: Don't send us to Iran! Don't let us die for another lie!

Update: Stuff I forgot to mention while struggling with Blogger: this is just one small part of a larger military campaign, the Bay Area portion of which is being coordinated by Kolonel Kvatch. Kvatch's Kommandos have already undertaken a couple of missions, and Generik's Guerrillas are mobilized and awaiting orders.
