As you may or may not, and well should know, Keene has chosen to build up its military by adding tank to list military capabilities. The Keene City Council states that it is a purely defensive addition to their "police force", caused by the threat of terrorists to their Pumpkin Festival; which admittedly is scorned by pumpkin haters all over the world. None the less, and as any peace advocate will tell you, there has never been a military weapon that has not been used for war.
You should also be aware that Winchester is located on the Ashuelot River, which historically has been a source of industrial power for south western New Hampshire. Winchester is also a major trader in alcohol, tobacco and explosives with its neighbor to the south; and being so, Winchester is then a prime target to become a slave satellite for the aggressive sociopaths that now inhabit the Keene City Council.
This being the case, it is quite obvious that Winchester should send a 'Peace Delegation' to Keene while secretly building anti-tank fortifications and a shadow "police force" to make Keene believe that Winchester is too strong to be taken by force.
I'm certain that Winchester can rely on the US Federal government for help in the defense of Winchester, just as they have shown support for Keene.
May God help Winchester in its glorious defense.
May God rain his wrath upon Keene.
May God show His mercies to Winchester's fallen children, who shall die in the defense Winchester.
Is a Bearcat good enough? Would that insure Winchestershires protection? I say "No Sir!" Superior firepower is the only reasonable course!
Is it just me or does anybody else ever think of "catdog" when they hear or see the word "bearcat"? Just wondering.
Johnson for Secretary of war!
I mean um defense!!
Yeah defense!!

We should dare to do all that is reasonable.

Yeah... we could let it sneak out that Winchester is getting nuclear stuff from Vermont Yankee. Then we could blow up an inter-townal rocket on our launch pad to show them that they are really in trouble. They would have to send us humanitarian aid cause we're spending all our money on defensive rockets in stead of feeding our children.
Maybe send rockets back and forth over the river
You need wheat shipments in the winter

As it necessary, so shall I be honored.
Do we declare war or do a preemptive strike
We should avoid a direct conflict, since there the only ones with tank.
I'm thinking there should be a really long period of negotiation... with a lot of stamping of the feet and crying about how children are suffering. Then if they don't come across with enough aid we can blow up another rocket on our launch pad.
There are, y'know, songs....
Here are a contrafactum and an original, both of the same title:
THANKS BUT NO TANKS ("Joy to the World"—Three Dog Night)

City council wants a BEARCAT.
Uncle gives 'em out for free.
They're telling us that it's to catch the terrorists,
But they've set their sights on you and me.
They'll be using it on you and me.
So we're singing:
CHORUS:
Thanks—but no tanks.
Those things don't shoot blanks!
Thank you for nothing, every bureaucrat!
Thanks, but no BEARcat.
The cops can do just what they please—
They're backed by City Hall.
They take laws, break them, or make them up
Like there's no law at all.
CHORUS
You rule by whim, and not law,
Like Orwell's 1984.
Getting an assault vehicle makes that clear.
It's time to say "No more!"
We won't take—or give!—any more!
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

THANKS, BUT NO TANKS

You want a BEARCAT? Thanks, but no tanks.
You say it's for rescue—Then tell us: How come it
Looks more as though we'll all need rescuing from it?
"Ballistic"? That's bullets! "Armored Response"?
You toss off the words with such glib nonchalance.
That turret attachment won't be shooting blanks.
Now you want a BEARCAT—Thanks, but no tanks.
You've got Tasers and nightsticks, guns, pepper-spray;
Immunity from all results of foul play.
Cops can find pretext for any arrest;
The courts collude with them—[SPOKEN—loudly, by all to whom it applies:] as we can attest!
We don't get free bail-outs, unlike the banks.
Now you want a BEARCAT—Thanks, but no tanks.
Jose Guerena was rescued by one—
Just ask his widow and fatherless son.
How many more must die till you admit
An army's invading—the government's it.
You say you fight terror—you terrorize us:
You're arming against us—so what's to discuss?
We don't want to fight, but you leave us no choice.
Before we raise weapons, we're raising our voice.
The People come first, you say? Well—pulling rank's
How we'll stop that BEARCAT—Thanks, but no tanks.

BEARCATS will attack, will attack, will attack!
BEARCATS fire flak, fire flak, fire flak!
Killing, maiming anyone—
Cops all think that's lots of fun.
Nighttime on your block—
Three o'clock—
There's a knock.
Breaking your front door
With a roar:
"On the floor!"
Maybe it's the wrong address—
Still, they'll bill you for the mess ...
CHORUS:
Stop the BEAR!
Stop the BEAR!
Many thanks,
But no tanks,
Stop the BEAR!
A police state's coming,
Increased hate's coming.
Some dumb scum scrumming
Through the Square,
Where they'll scare
People there,
Confident
We'll relent,
And won't care.
Well, we're watching—We'll be CopWatching,
And we won't stop, cops, till you drop it—Stop the BEAR!
[Repeat CHORUS]
BEARCATS will attack, will attack, will attack!
BEARCATS are impacting a track to blow back.
Waging war on citizens.
Government's not law's, but men's.
Read your history:
Liberty
Isn't free.
History insists
We resist
Terrorists
We won't live in fear and doubt.
Tell the tyrants: BEARCATs out!
CHORUS
More stirring martial music:

Ballistic Engineered Armored Re-
sponse Counter Attack Truck's here,
Engineering its armory
To keep us in line with fear.
They say it's needed for rescuing
(Believing we'll believe anything...)
The BEARCAT's here to roll right over our freedom!
The LenCo video goes to show
The havoc this thing can wreak.
The YouTube viewership mushroomed so
That it was withdrawn that week
The cops all love to beat and destroy--
So let's reward them with a new toy
The BEARCAT's here to roll right over our freedom!
Free-for-all for government!
The people's government
Is making war on the people now.
Bash them,
Smash them
On cement!
The press will place the blame on them somehow.
They'll be knocked out, cuffed, and chained,
Indefinitely detained,
We'll never know where they went--
Throughout the land, the weirdos and rebels
Will learn not to resist
Because they need and love the government.
Ballistic Engineered Armored Re-
sponse Counter Attack Truck's come
Firing sound rays to harm our re-
dress with pandemonium.
Protecting, serving us as it shreds
We, the people, beneath its treads.
The BEARCAT's here to roll right over our freedom!

I found some collage women for you.

Well, Concord is getting a Bearcat, Concord City Council accepts grant for BearCat vehicle (http://www.concordmonitor.com/home/8431613-95/concord-city-council-accepts-grant-for-bearcat-vehicle)
When will Winchestershire step up to the owning a tank club?
They are holding out for a stealth bomber.
Control the high ground!
But a tank... now that could lead to some spiffy outfits.
Patton's tanker ensemble for instance!
