Would they do that?
Jan 21 2010, 11:39 AM EST
What do you think the military will do in a zombie invasion? I know they will most likely put up barricades and try to "quarantine" but do you think they will resort to tactical nukes? If so then that would leave almost (i said almost) all vehicles useless. How what that change your survival plan? Do you find this valuable?

It wouldn't. I plan to use vehicles as soon as "The Panic" hits, using a small back road to get to my destination (which isn't very far away at all), then resort to bikes and other things to get around. Do you find this valuable? |

As in bikes, you mean non-motorized bikes, because EMP would knock out everything with a computer style system as well as batteries. Just wondering if anyone had thought about that.

My M35A2 does not rely on electronics to run... As long as I park on a hill so I can bump-start it. And unless it's a particularly strong EMP, the heavy duty 24 volt electrical system wouldn't care. As to what the military would do... I don't think they'd use nukes. Traditional bombs and missiles, yes, and ONLY as a last resort. Do you find this valuable? |

Yea thats what I thought, don't think the military would use them on us, maybe another country but not us. *Turns to team* "Load up in the Humvee's guys they're still good!!" Do you find this valuable? |

I would guess that our military would take a solid, quarantine and eradicate approach - until it all becomes too much and they leave. Our US and Brit military pals would probably then try to help out, and likely add to the problem.If they aren't in the SHTF themselves, that is. Do you find this valuable? |

We would never use a nuke on our soil unless it was last resort. Since the zeds can be killed with a head shot, my guess is no, a tac-nuke will not be used.An EMP pulse will only effect electronics that are powered up, so if you unplug the power and/or battery and drain the circuit of power before the pulse, it should work after you plug the power and/or battery back in. Some military vehicles are either shielded and/or have back-up systems to help mitigate EMP pulses. Some military units will be overran at first, however once the word gets out, mass quarantine and eradication centers will be setup. As well as, search and destroy patrols and rescue missions for family members. A soldier focused on family members is not usually a good soldier. Do you find this valuable? |

"We would never use a nuke on our soil unless it was last resort. Since the zeds can be killed with a head shot, my guess is no, a tac-nuke will not be used.Yeah but the only problem is that you only need 1 zed to break through or not to be found and then your ******. The chances of a nuke? Agreed - highly unlikely. But I can think of a few other drastic measures they could take. Do you find this valuable? |

"True but come on - how many times when the military has "had to have been careful" and just made a mess of it? Its going to be a huge, massive job and not even the US Armed Forces can aggressively contain every major city. I suppose what I'm saying is mate that there is a high chance that the government could order some drastic measures, whether you and I would carry them out is another matter but I think they would.

I do not agree all of the military units (world wide) will be taken out as suggested in Romero's movies even in a Class 3 break out. You know how Hollywood and the movie industry like to give worse case scenarios for entertainment purposes. As well as, hope in really crappy situations. Do you find this valuable? |

I suppose it could be done but there is that tiny, tincy - wincy chance something could breakthrough. I mean its not so bad for you guys because you have a huge National Guard to mobilize. We don't have that ability so you guys have a better head start. Do you find this valuable? |

"Lol yeah I here you mate. I suppose it could be done but there is that tiny, tincy - wincy chance something could breakthrough.It all depends. Yes we have a head start with the national guard and patriots who own an average of 6 guns per household. However, I am sure UK units will maintain order in certain areas as well as not being over ran by zombies. I believe the larger cities world wide will fall unless they get lucky for some reason or it has something to do with the climate. Do you find this valuable? |

But I mean here in the UK we are seriously ****** when it comes to military help. I mean lets face it, half of our ever shrinking army is deployed and the TA is on the rocks at the minute (Terrirtorial Army) because the funding is being trimmed every five minutes. I have full faith in the squaddies mate but there's no way they can secure a city with more than 30, 40,000 people. Just not large enough. Do you find this valuable? |

I think that a large portion of the Quarantine troops will most likely be overrun. I think small squads and pockets of soldiers will survive and some will take in survivors and some won't. think 28 days later, they can be good at first and help but then some may not be so helpful.

I think small squads and pockets of soldiers will survive and some will take in survivors and some won't.It all depends and I was not talking about quarantining a city. That is almost a lost cause unless you prepare for it ahead of time. I was talking about a quarantined safe haven\camp. If there is no room, the vehicle is turned away until they can be dealt with. Again, no cutting corners and no quarter will be given. Deadly force is authorized to deal with those who fail to comply with orders. Do you find this valuable? |

"I would think a soldier defending his family would be one of the best soldiers. A man always will fight harder with his back against the wall"As well as, search and destroy patrols and "rescue missions for family members". A soldier focused on family members is not usually a good soldier. Meaning the family is not there or in a safe place which needs to be resolved before carrying out the primary mission of the armed forces. Do you find this valuable? |
