The Hobo Army Rises

 

“We will fight them on the high streets, we will fight them outside the soup kitchens, we will fight them by the bus shelters, we will fight them on the bench outside our local pub, we will fight them in the doorways of banks after 5pm, and we will never, never surrender.”

-----Winston Churchill, shortly before surrendering to the Hobo Army

“Conventional armies need to be fed, led and bred. The Hobo Army only consumes drugs or cider, requires little leadership, and can reproduce asexually. They have us fucked on all counts.”

-----Field-Marshall Haig

Thanks to a generous donation from Gertrude, my motley mate, the Hobo King is free of his incarceration. In due time, the remainder of my loyal subjects will taste freedom as well. I believe my jailers feared me, as they rightly should, for they witnessed first hand what a Hobo Army can do! Though I consider the people and government of Great Falls (and by extension, the United States) to be allies of the Hobo Nation, it's always good to remind your allies of your power, once in a while. Keeps them from getting any ideas.

Alas, these are the Machiavellian machinations implicit in hobo rulership.
