How large is the Sons of The American Legion? Each year since , the Sons of The American Legion has set a new all-time high in membership. Currently, there are more than , members of the Sons in this country and abroad. What is the administrative structure of the Sons? Every member of the Sons belongs to a Squadron somewhere. The Squadron is the basic level of membership in our organization. Different states Detachments use different ways of grouping numbers of Squadrons together.
In most states, Squadrons are grouped geographically and report to their own Districts also called Areas or Divisions. All Districts or Areas or Divisions report to the state headquarters, referred to as a Detachment.
All state Detachments report to the National Headquarters. In addition to the 50 state Detachments in the U. What is the main purpose of the Sons? The mission of the Sons is to support veterans and their families and the policies of our parent organization, The American Legion. Virtually everything that involves the Sons could be grouped under three areas: 1 support for veterans and their families, 2 promoting patriotism and Americanism and 3 promoting programs which benefit the youth of our country.
When was the Sons founded? Why would someone want to join the Sons? Different people have different reasons for belonging to organizations. For many, membership in the Sons has allowed them to become involved in American Legion programs alongside their fathers.
Others belong out of respect for their parents' and grandparents' service to our country in the military. Many younger members get involved and learn valuable leadership skills involving organization, public speaking, and negotiating, budgeting and fundraising skills. Membership in our organization also provides individuals with opportunities to forge lifelong friendships with people who share a common bond.
Who runs the Sons? The governing legislative body of the Sons is its National Convention. Detachments states send representatives to the National Convention each year to elect national officers and conduct the business of the organization. Between conventions, authority is vested in the National Executive Committee, also made up of elected representatives from each Detachment. The N.

The pigs then rush into the sea and are drowned Mark — Ok here me out for a moment.
Personally, due to good map pressure, aswell as being able to find survivors easily and slow the game down, as long as you know how to play on tiles, The Legion are one of the best killers in the game.

Sawyer then elaborated on the concept, stating, "One of the few big things I did on Van Buren was taking an organization Chris invented and changing it perhaps mangling it in the process into a neo-Roman slavers' legion with all the weird titles, makeshift costumes, and traditions of that group.
If this became known, the other Hangdogs would demand to banish him and his family to the wasteland. Bares His Teeth would have no qualms about doing this. The faction was originally planned to play a much bigger role in Van Buren but their role was scaled back significantly as the development team realized the game and its story had gotten too big.
Decades of warfare, absorbing lesser tribes, gathering power. Forging the dross into a vast, razor-sharp scythe. My Legion's expansion has never ceased. We have cities of our own, but nothing compared to Vegas. Finally, my Legion will have its Rome. He unearths a cache of literature about the ancient Roman Empire and encounters the historical figure of Caesar. It was my first expedition, just me and a physician named Calhoun.
As an anthropologist and linguist, my assignment was to learn the dialects of the Grand Canyon tribes. What a fucking waste of time! Anyway, we met up with a Mormon missionary who already knew a bunch of dialects - Joshua Graham. He was supposed to teach me.
But before that went too far, the Blackfoot tribe captured us, to hold us for ransom. They were a backward bunch. But the real problem was, they didn't know how to fight. Once the Arizona wastes were pacified, the Legion turned on its erstwhile allies, stripped them of their tribal identity, and forced them into slavery. Those who resisted were crucified along the remains of I The treaty was more than a resolution to welcome the Desert Rangers into the republic.
It was a covenant to protect southern Nevada against Caesar's Legion and the tyranny of his regime. People around here tend to see them as invading marauders planning to burn and pillage the countryside. But I've been to Arizona, boss. Before the Legion, it was a nasty place, so thick with raiders you couldn't trade with a town two miles up the road.
Caesar's laws aren't nice, and their actions aren't always pretty. But then, neither am I, but you keep me around. I'd seen what had become of the NCR's attempts to emulate the culture of Pre-War America - the in-fighting, the corruption.
Rome was a highly militarized autocracy that effectively integrated the foreign cultures it conquered. It dedicated its citizens to something higher than themselves - to the idea of Rome itself.
In Rome I found a template for a society equal to the challenges of the post-apocalyptic world - a society that could and would survive. A society that could prevent mankind from fracturing and destroying itself in this new world, by establishing a new Pax Romana. Long-term stability at all costs. The individual has no value beyond his utility to the state, whether as an instrument of war, or production. House's technology to attack the dam.
The weapons I wield are forged from blood, flesh, sinew, bone - mortal stuff. Fragile, even. And yet my Legion obeys me, even unto death. House's machines, his technologies - what do they propose? The possibility of victory without sacrifice.
No blood spilled, just That's not an idea to be put in circulation. If mankind's going to survive this moment in history, it needs warriors, not gadgets. As the name suggests, it's an automated physician - more or less. It can treat broken bones, cuts, punctures, scrapes. Sometimes I bestow its use upon someone I favor. Makes for a powerful gift, in a culture that forbids painkillers and is largely ignorant of medical science.
Actually, my opinion's the same either way. And that her father, Aradesh, was the Republic's first President? Does that sound like democracy to you, or a hereditary dictatorship? She was too popular. She had the people's love. So things ran smoothly, more or less. And as soon as she was gone, as soon as there really could be "democracy" - what happened then? Ever since losing its queen, the NCR has been weaker, more diffuse. Democracy has been its weakness, not its strength.
The government is corrupt, accepting bribes from Brahmin barons and landowners, to the detriment of citizens. The NCR is a loose conglomerate of individuals looking out for themselves. It's lost virtue. No one cares about the collective, the greater good.
It's not built to last. I'm just hastening the inevitable. The most powerful my Legion has faced. Also the first to which I am ideologically opposed. Until now, every tribe I've conquered has been so backwards and stunted, enslavement has been a gift bestowed upon them. My conquest of the Mojave will be a glorious triumph, marking the transition of the Legion from a basically nomadic tribe to a genuine empire.
Just as my namesake campaigned in Gaul before he crossed the Rubicon, so have I campaigned, and will cross the Colorado. It's Hegelian Dialectics, not personal animosity. What are those? It's a philosophical theory, the kind you might encounter if you took time to read some books. The fundamental premise is to envision history as a sequence of "dialectical" conflicts. Each dialectic begins with a proposition, a thesis Thesis and antithesis. The conflict is inevitable.
But the resolution of the conflict yields something new - a synthesis - eliminating the flaws in each, leaving behind common elements and ideas. Just as with the ancient Republic, it is natural that a military force should conquer and transform the NCR into a military dictatorship. The Colorado River is my Rubicon. The NCR council will be eradicated , but the new synthesis will change the Legion as well But yes The few times I've encountered them firsthand, I've been impressed with their discipline.
I've heard they don't allow women in their military, considering them nothing more than breeding stock. Their men, however, are typically quite large, in phenomenal condition, and prefer close-quarter weapons. Recent engagements have taught us to fear their shock attacks, so it's a blessing that we seem to have superior firearms. The Legion attacked my village when I was My parents were killed as examples. The rest of us, chained and dragged to some kind of camp. A Centurion there chose me as his tent servant.
He was handsome, and gentle, most of the time. Said it was our secret, and he'd protect me. Gave me little gifts, stupid things. But Caesar punishes homosexuality with death, and we nearly got caught, and there were suspicions. So when he took me out into the desert Well, I knew he was going to get rid of me. So I kicked him where it counts and I ran.
And then swam. And ran some more. Wound up here. I think women have it worse. They're like money, given as rewards.
Breeding stock. Honestly, as long as men meet obligations and the child count, "friendships" are a sight more equal than the level of most Legion husbands and wives. Where's that touch of Old World class? Although I hear they mount their soldiers as much as they mount their women, so maybe they did keep a little something from the Empire. No such privilege for the women, though.
It's a word. Otherwise, I wouldn't be talking to you right now - on both counts. All right. No problems here, there's a lot more of that in the Mojave than you see. You must not be from around here. If so The Courier: "What do you mean? Oddly enough, Legion's a little more forgiving about Out here, it's not as accepted.
I'll admit, I could see benefits to living under his rule. But that's neither here nor there, I'm afraid. Marjorie won't have it, as long as she fails to see the wisdom of my perspective.
I have, however, told her how instrumental you were in revolutionizing our cuisine. And she knows what we stand to gain from a ruler who supports it. Have a word with her, see what she says. I daresay she'll be more receptive with these new developments.
But now you have to convince them to support my Legion. Tell them they'll be allowed to continue practicing their dietary habits without interruption. They can eat a portion of what they conquer. I hear rumors they're poised to overrun the entire Colorado River Valley, and even the Army won't be enough to stop them. One of the officers here, or at Camp McCarran, might be able to tell you more. The Legion occupied all major locations, enslaving much of the population and peacefully lording over the rest.
Under the Legion's banner, civilization - unforgiving as it was - finally came to the Mojave Wasteland. As long as you don't try to sell 'em chems or alcohol, they treat you fair.
Hell, I don't even need to travel with guards most of the time in Legion territory. All the bandits are dead or run off. But, I do cross the river from time to time when an opportunity comes along. Legion caught me. Said this When they found the, umm, package I was carrying, they strung me up there. More like I heard there was a lot of untapped territory down south, but the Legion caught me.
Those three in the pen are captures, nothing more. I'm a Slavemaster, so I know what I'm talking about. Back at the Fort, I'd have those three half-broken and well on their way. But this is just a holding area, so all I do is assess their fitness and decide whether to send them on. They have no purpose, no creed, no honor. They live in pitiful squalor, undisciplined, intemperate.
To enslave them is to save them - to give them purpose, and virtue. Honestas, Industria, Prudentia - even the virtues of slaves are beyond the Dissolute on this side of the river. If they're fortunate enough to become slaves, a new name will be given to them - one they can be proud of. I was just thinking about you. Carrie Boyd : "That so? I was just thinking about that pretty neck of yours.
Carrie Boyd: "How sweet. Carrie Boyd: "I'll pass.
