Todd Wainio

This is my second time interviewing Todd Wainio as you may remember he was a soldier who fought at the disappointing loss at Yonkers. This time around Todd told me about his experience fighting the Battle at Hope, New Mexico. At Yonkers the United States Army was unprepared and used unneccesary weapons that didn't work against Zack. This time the military learned from their mistakes at Yonkers and used what they learned to redo there game plan and defeat the wave of zombies. Something that changed from Yonkers was that at Hope they didn't use any tanks or military vehicles except to carry soldiers and ammunition because not enough ammo was one of the reasons for the failure at Yonkers. Instead of using all the high tech and advanced weapons that didn't effect Zack, the army made sure that the weapons they used were effective against the zombies so they used Lobos which were just basic swords. The military's main weapon was SIR which stands for standard infantry rifle that was a wooden rifle that deprived power for accuracy so it was easier to shoot the zombies in the head to destroy the brain and could be used as a long range rifle or for close range combat. Todd also said that the soldiers were specifically trained to kill the zombies and when the Zacks moved closer they moved into the RS or Reinforced Square which only didn't work in India because they ran out of ammo but worked at Hope because they made sure they had enough ammo for any amount of Zacks and this eventually defeated the zombie invasion at Hope after a tireless night of constant fighting. I was excited to hear Todd's story about this great victory and first sign of hope of taking back the land they had lost to the zombies after having to hear about the devastating failure at Yonkers.
