And they're trying to get the local natural resources to gain control of weapons even the military have no defense against.Recon 9 has gained four new members and formed an alliance with locals, many of them veterans, against a common enemy.

"Climate scientist and chair of the Global Carbon Project Rob Jackson explains that we need to redefine our goals.
