I'm no military man, but there are a few things that are just basic facts. I do know that once you start getting into the assault rifle category of firepower, bullets go from just poking holes that induce bleeding, organ falure, and nerve trauma--i.e. the stuff that doesn't take out zombies--to becoming essentially giant ice-cream scoops that rip the body apart in sizable chunks. Popping the apricot becomes more akin to an ideal than an absolute necessity.Anyway, if you're facing millions of zombies, it's safe to say the military is likely to abandon digging in with infantry in preference of airstrikes. And regardless of whatever ambitious planning might be in place, getting some jets to drop air-fuel bombs on home soild could actually be executed very quickly as a fallback plan. And such contingencies are likely in place right now to respond to a catastrophic outbreak in a matter of minutes. We're not talking about dicey ways of destroying a person, like boiling their blood. We're talking about an attack that vaporizes.</blockquote>
