The overwhelming majority of Americans choose to obey the laws rather than endure the punishment that might result from violating the laws. That is, our laws produce a threat of arrest and incarceration for theft, assault, murder, and other crimes. Right now, most Americans enjoy a reasonable expectation of safety and security. The other issue in The Last Full Measure is the idea of civilization and of law and order. In The Last Full Measure people struggle through the terrible situation Shiratori mentions. Shiratori warns Wright and his friends that revolutions often take wrong turns, resulting in situations far worse than the one that had given birth to the rebellion in the first place. The goal with The Last Full Measure was to follow Danny Wright and his friends through the nightmare landscape that I believe would follow not just the end of our legal and law enforcement systems, but the end of our food distribution, electric, and transportation systems. Feel free to check that out on in the Divided We Fall section. If you’ve already read the story behind Divided We Fall then you know about how I came up with Burning Nation and The Last Full Measure.
