* ArmiesAreEvil: Zigzagged The WarHawk's at the beginning aren't portrayed positively, and plenty of warlord types emerge from military survivors (with Swan wanting to discourage armies from forming and people acting like soldiers). There are some subversions, such as 1) an Army and Red Cross station in the town of Homewood where Sister, Paul, Artie and the others find, 2) Bud Royce (an ex-Arkansas National Guardsman who helps defend Mary's Rest) and 3) the "Underground boys" at the missile silo near [=PawPaw=] Briggs' gas station, who helped him dig a bomb shelter for if things went bad.

It opens with several of the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters just before the bombs go off--Sister Creep, later to be known as just "Sister", a quasi-crazy bag lady in New York City; Swan, a little girl who can make plants grow; Josh Hutchins, a retired wrestler; Roland Croninger, a boy whose parents have gone to hide out in what they believe to be a safe fortress, and Colonel Macklin, one of the people in charge of that fortress. Russia and America [[ApocalypseHow annihilate one another with nuclear weapons]], leaving the country in ruins and many of those who survived wounded or disfigured.

* MenOfSherwood: Downplayed with the soldiers and volunteers at Homewood. They're an efficient group of survivors and are the only big faction that (regardless of moral alignment) doesn't take heavy losses, but they're also never seen fighting against human enemies. However, they do skillfully fight off a pack of wolves attacking Sister, Paul, and their companions, when wolves in other scenes seem capable of doing damage to large bodies of men.

* TheRemnant: Played with. Factions like the AOE, American Allegiance, Troop Hydra and Nolans' Raiders are all described as acting like military factions trying to forcibly establish dominance in the years after the nukes, and are described as having ex-military types, but it's unclear if any of them are actually led by active duty soldiers or holding themselves out as legitimate remnants of the U.S. government (the AOE and American Allegiance certainly aren't, which is a bit ironic considering that American Allegiance has partially based their mantra on one of their members encounter with the surviving President) while the one faction explicitly shown to be composed largely of surviving soldiers (and Red Cross doctors) is portrayed as benevolent and unambitious, taking in refugees rather than trying to seize territory.
