OOC - I never actually passed into Soviet Irish territory yet... Soldiers were near the border waiting, but medics have not actually moved in.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE TO THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF SAMUKAN - MILITARY OF ETHAN FOLEY
To whom it may concern,
The Military of Ethan Foley is a lawful nation in the region of Kennan and has abided with all passed KRC Resolutions. Furthermore, the Military of Ethan Foley is within its rights that were allotted to us by the Kennan Regional Council to conduct such activities.
Kennan Regional Council Resolution #6 clearly shows that the KRC does not observe or abide by the Geneva Conventions. Secondly, no where in Kennan Regional Council Resolution #14 does it say that nations of Kennan must abide by the Geneva Conventions. A nonbias nation will investigate, but that is all the resolution calls for.
Secretary John-642 OOC: Just to clarify from recent vagueness in posts and unclarities: The MEF Special Forces entered the Hadron Federation and attacked/killed/took hostage Hackleberry Medical Stations and Hackleberry medics all across the central and Southern parts of the Hadron-Soviet border and threatened even more attacks. The Special Forces encountered heavy resistance from Soviet forces, but Ethan Foley has been successful for the most part so far.

EXECUTIVE COMMAND CENTER - NATIONAL DEFENSE CENTER - WOODSTOCK, THE HACKLEBERRY ISLANDSOctober 11th, 2014 11:47 Local Time "You have got to be kidding me..." sighed the President pertaining to the message just sent by the Folian government. "We try to help our allies, and they invade us because we're right next door? They're killing our medics because we're healing people of of Hadronian flesh and blood near the border." The room fell silent. A pin could have been heard drop. The President looked around the room in despair; If they stayed, thousands would be massacred and hell would break loose across the region. If they evacuated, those who desperately needed the help would be abandoned.
Turning Kennan into a warzone that could result in the death of hundreds of millions, or leaving the innocent and injured to die.
As hard as it was, the choice was obvious.
The order was given to evacuate.

Kotobuki District, Trenton Lazuren, United Republic of Samukan
Tobias Roffgan sat in his office, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. The situation facing him was clearly not solvable with a simple decision. At worst, it could drag Samukan into yet another campaign against the fascists of the region.
His Chief of Staff, Ben Walden, entered the room. "Sir," he asked, "we have a press conference in five. What should we tell them?"
Tobias sighed. "Tell them that it's our priority to protect innocents. With Hackleberry evacuating them now, that should be enough. Hell, maybe we'll get some credit there. We'll need a popularity boost for the election."
"I think they'll like that," said Ben.
"How's Lucian doing with the negotiation offer?" Tobias asked.
"No reply yet. Sandwich and Hackleberry are probably busier than we are," Ben said. "We've gotten through worse, don't worry. We're all working on it." He left the room.
"I just hope we don't have to fight another Great War," Tobias said to himself.

The nation of the Sandwich Territories was mortified to hear about the killing of Hackleberry and Bagel Land medics. The nation; who's relations with the Hackleberry Islands and the Bagel Lands are of high importance; has already began a mourning process for the medics. Memorials for the medics have sprung up around the nation. King Brian I had this to say.
"In war, there is no limit to the heinous crimes against humanity that can be committed. Humans throughout time have always treated each other with much more horrible intentions than any other creature on Earth. I send my most sincere and deep remorse to the Hackleberry Islands and the Bagel Lands, and we hope that our nation can help these nations recover in a time of mourning."
Prime Minister Al Fresco was more frank with the public.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of 40 great men of the Hackleberry Islands and the Bagel Lands, but it has to be stated that these medics were aiding an enemy of the most despicable, vile regime in this region. Something of the sort was bound to happen. However, I will state this as many times as I have to: this act will not go unpunished. We will not accept such human rights violations, and violations of national sovereignty; especially of our allies. The attack of a fellow Sandwichsphere member was ideological, and the Sandwichsphere is only a cultural alliance. The murder of Hackles, Bagel Landers, and the illegal movement through Hadron was not only unjustified, but our relationship with these nations are as such that the crimes committed by TMEF will be responded to."
Supreme Dictator Rusty Neils had this to say as well.
"I extend my hand with great sorrow to President David Hackett, Premier Thomas Bagel I, the friends and families of the medics, and the other residents of these honorable nations. The sacrifices of these great men will never be forgotten. When this war is over, a statue to these heroes will be made in their honor."
The Sandwich Territories is planning to condemn TMEF officially, and get a resolution to pass through the floor to impose economic sanctions on TMEF. These sanctions may be amended to include all TMAF nations, but that is yet to be seen. The nation has started to defend it's borders, as security has began to be enforced throughout the nation. ACBM's are now ready to fire in case of any threat. In the wake of this, Mr. Fresco's approval rating, which was already at 71% has now skyrocketed to 87%.
Soviet New Wales has completely militarized, and is now "ready to defend itself in case of an attack".
Kazaristan will hold a nation wide vigil service for the medics.

SUPREME DICTATOR ETHAN FOLEY V's ADDRESS TO KENNAN - MILITARY OF ETHAN FOLEY Supreme Dictator Ethan Foley V walked slowly onto the podium, overlooking crowds of over one million people in the City of Foley. The Dictator rested his hands on the side of the podium and looked at the documents in front of him. He grabbed a cup of water that was resting on the podium, took a sip, put it down, and looked up to the crowd. Clearing his throat, he began his first public address since the war began: "My fellow Ethanians. The oppressive nations of this region have brought war upon us. Their abnormal cultures and inferior civilizations have been a nuisance from the start. It is our moral duty to eradicate them from the face of this planet. Moving on to recent news regarding Guadalajara. It has come to our attention that they are actively aiding enemies of the Military of Ethan Foley. We demand they cease these actions immediately or we will be required to use force to stop these actions. They have 6 hours or else Ethan Foley troops will enter Guadalajaran soil with or without authorization. Finally, Sandwich Territories wishes to condemn our great nation for saving them from Hackleberry medics. I assure all of you, this action will not go unnoticed. We will seek revenge! Be ready, Sandwich." The Dictator smiled, and walked off the podium. The crowd exploded in cheers.

Guadalajara's President walks up to the podium surrounded by microphones, cameras and people screaming questions at him. He quietly stood there, waiting for the crowd to calm down. Finally, he started speaking "Wonderful citizens of The Great Republic, dictator Ethan Foley has attempted to end our humanitarian acts of helping people suffering from his attacks. I just want to let him know, we will not seize our compassionate acts." Then a wimpy looking reporter stood up from his chair and asked, "How are you planning on keeping us, the citizens safe, Mr. President?" A few seconds of silence went by, until the President replied, "As we speak, the entire army of Guadalajara and its ally, Agalychnis, are prepared to defend this nation and all surrounding nations under attack from this scum!" To which he added, "VIVA GUADALAJARA!" the crowd screaming "viva!" as he stepped of the stage into his private limousine.

4 MILES ABOVE PORT TRADAIL, SANDWICH TERRITORIES - MILITARY OF ETHAN FOLEY
The special bomber flew at 600 mi/h over four miles above the Sandwich capital. The bomber crew waited anxiously for the High Command's order to drop the package. Finally, a voice crackled over the radio.
"M-E-F, Mike Echo Foxtrot Four Three Four, this is H-C, Hotel Charlie. Confirmation Number is 1, 2, 6, 3, 1. I repeat, 1, 2, 6, 3, 1. Do you confirm?" the voice said. HC, or Hotel Charlie was the code name for the High Command building. 12631 was a code signifying they were who they said they were.
"Hotel Charlie, Mike Echo Foxtrot, we can confirm." the pilot replied.
"Roger that. You are a go for launch. I repeat, you are a go for launch. Hotel Charlie is signing off." the voice ceased to speak.
The pilot looked at his co-pilot, nervously. "This is it, George. Give the go-ahead to the bombardier. We are dropping the package."
"Yes, Sir!" The co-pilot keyed his mic, "Bombardier to Co-Pilot. You are go for launch. I repeat, go for launch."
The bombardier had sweat rolling down his face. He looked at the button that would change the course of history. He closed his eyes and pressed it.
The high pitched squeal of an object falling was heard. The package had been released. He looked out the bubble window in the front of the bomber. The bomb was falling fast, but suddenly it broke up. Could this be a mistake? Did the package fail? He thought. No one in the bomber actually knew what the bomb was, after all. Most thought it was a nuke, but it seemed safer to launch a missile instead.
He looked up and thought, and looked down again. Thousands of sandwiches fell from the broken up bomb. Thousands of bologna sandwiches would wreak havoc upon the streets of Port Tradail. The bombardier was so shocked he barely was able to crack a smile, God Dammit Supreme Dictator.
