Why not just go back to Little Rock and report that there was an out of control Cholera outbreak and that they had to leave?"
No snark or frustration here.
I didn't misunderstand, I did a poor job of explaining. Not to tie up the IC thread, Saul's point is that soldiers from places outside of Little Rock could easily have gone home and since the camp is still officially being reported as "operating" no one would even know they were gone. Especially since the central authority is kind of distant around here.

We were planning on swearing in some bikers. I don’t see any difference.
This is where I'm at as well. Saul would argue that quick official recognition of what they citizens have done down here would only tighten the relationship with Little Rock. Provided it all turns out to be on the up and up. In return for "enlistment" as ASDF auxiliaries, the former POWs would be sworn in as US citizens.
