THE WAR AGAINST THE CHILD OPPOSERS

Monday the 5th of June - 2017
War is declared on the PROC by the Child Opposers, their leader, Greer McCarthy famously quoting:
"The Child is bad - I shall kill it."
This results in the mobilisation of many RCAF units. The Child Opposers also mobilize their air force in preparation for battle.

Tuesday the 6th of June - 2017
Two RCAF aircraft on a reconnaissance mission are attacked and destroyed by the Child Opposers, an event that will be later known as the Takitimu skirmish. The PROC vows revenge.

Wednesday the 7th of June - 2017
One of the DPROC's three "Harrier" paper planes falls into enemy hands during a flight demonstration. It was taken for evaluation and was never seen again after the war. Presumably scrapped in December 2017.

Thursday the 8th of June - 2017
The 1st battle of Taradale is fought. Resulting in 2 RCAF aircraft lost and 3 Child Opposing aircraft shot down. Plans for Operation Vodka, the sabotage of the enemy aircraft in their hangars are laid down for the 9th of June. Doing the planning are the three of the main RCDF officials, Commander in chief Jakob Morris, Admiral Matthew Johnson and Thomas I. Despite his importance, Air Chief Marshal Nate Simes does not take part in the planning or operation.

Friday the 9th of June - 2017
Operation Vodka is put into action, successfully sabotaging 8 enemy aircraft. In response the Child Opposers attack with the remaining 5 aircraft. The RCAF fights back but looses 2 aircraft. However, the air force of the Child Opposers is shattered, losing 2 aircraft and forcing the remaining 2 to surrender. It is an obvious Childarian victory, for the Child Opposers have lost the ability to fight a war now that the PROC has complete aerial supremacy.

Child Opposers losses:
2 planes destroyed
3 planes captured
8 destroyed in operation Vodka

PROC losses:
2 planes destroyed

Tuesday the 13th of June - 2017
Greer McCarthy, leader of the Child Opposers surrenders to the PROC, therefore ending the war.
Child Opposers casualties(total):
12 planes destroyed
3 planes captured
1 prisoner taken
Total: 16
PROC casualties(total)
6 planes destroyed
1 plane captured
0 prisoners taken
Total: 7

An explanation

Some may have noticed that the "Today in History" posts this year are not on the same dates as they were last year. This is because the time on this blog is a day behind. However, we are working to fix this.
