America was a developed nation before the Apocalypse with all bit a small minority of the population unused to fending for itself. When things fell apart those that survived had to adapt to their new harsh environment. Some rose to the challenge while some did not. Some became less than human turning their back on old moral codes and embraced a new primitive way of being. They are as fearless and brave as they are unpredictable and merciless. They have been called savages, nu-tribals, the devolved but most call them the Crazies.
"They got knocked on their asses during the Fall and decided they liked it down there and never got up again.”
Doctor Woodrow Trout, Vulcan ARC (90 A.F.)
The generally very primitive and technologically poor crazies are always a danger. In the autumn of 97 A.F. an ARC Retrieval Unit was virtually wiped out and a relic helicopter lost after a failed mission in to the Crazy infested ruins of Knoxville, Tennessee. Details are classified but only the actions of volunteer experimental subjects aided one squad survivor in being returned to ARC territory.
