I was having dinner with Todd and his family in Colorado. Here is a picture of Todd. We had to do the dishes while his wife put their kids to bed, after that the second interview began. Todd immediately began to describe how there was a major change after Yonkers as to how the Army moved, used weapons and ate. He talked about the updated form of battle armor they now used that had chemical compounds built into it. He talked about how people of all age groups and workplaces/backgrounds were turned into troops. He talked about how he firing squad had orders only to kill Zacks that were near a marker and how eventually a mountain of Zacks piled up. Todd described the efficiency of the recharge team and how they would reload your clips and even take your place in the fire line while you ate or rested. He talked about the "KO's" or shrinks that watched you and made you take breaks "if necessary". Todd talked about how after they won everyone was more positive and happy. I would like to know how the troops lived after that and what they did after hearing the presidents speech?

I loved this interview because it seemed to be a turning point, not just in the war but in the book itself. It seemed to give the reader some hope that humans can win, at least that is what happened when I read it. Also, the defeat of the zombies, I believe, at this battle, because it was the first, is what allowed humans to rise to the challenge and beat the zombies.
