You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

That just raises more problems. If the theocracy only controls a small area and is at war with the rest of America (and presumably America's allies) then how have they not already lost? How is everyone just living their lives like they're not in the middle of a war?

Because they're not in the middle of a war, the handmaidens are a right reserved for the upper class of the society. The same upper class that want nothing to do with the actual fighting so are well and truly insulated from it. The war is an abstract for everyone in the show, as evidenced by the oranges scene in the first episode.
