Colorado/Colorado invades Utah

Colorado conquered Utah in the "Forgotten War" and occupies it to this day using a Stay the Course an Adapt To Win strategy.

Pre-war intelligence
Prior to the invasion, retired generals from Colorado Springs presented evidence of what they called a "clear threat" from the "old hippies" in Utah. They showed graphs and fly-over pictures of what they called "drug lauching sites". They insisted that the "hippie theocrats" in Utah planned planned to launch missiles filled with "LSD" into all of the reservoirs in Colorado.

The generals insisted that Colorado militias would be "welcomed as liberators" by the people of Utah who have "suffered for too long under the brutal regime of psychedelic-crazed theocrats."

Unfortunate non-discovery
Colorado's brave malitia-men quickly subdued Utah in successful lightning-strike raids. But the joy in Colorado turned to shock when of Coloradoan learned that their soldiers were unable to find LSD or any kind of psychedelic in Utah. Apparently, all of the threats of "LSD" by the evil theocrats in Salt Lake City were empty bravado.

Some dissident voices in Boulder suggested that the generals had gotten it all wrong from the start and that the theocrats were never talking about LSD.

"Brink of Civil War" in Utah?
Although most people in the state support the job that their government is not doing in Utah, the liberal media in Boulder have been agitating for a cut-and-run deadline. They claim that James Dobson and the generals in Colorado Springs who advocated for the war supplied the Governor and the state's militias with "faulty intelligence".

They claim that the generals failed to recognize the vast cultural gulf that separates the Mormons of Utah from the residents of Colorado. Some of the retired retired generals have told the Boulder media that Colorado militias were suprised that the "occupied territories" of Utah have fallen into a state of "near civil war."

The twice-retired generals claim that the militia commandant failed to recognize the long-simmering tensions that exist among the "LDS", "Reform LDS", and "Fundamental LDS" factions in Utah.
