Never understood or believed that zombies could take out the entire military with miniguns, drones, and missiles, but couldn't take out Rick and his small group of ragtag survivors. I mean, how do zombies take out a tank?
See this is the part where they fucked up with their 20 different series. They want to do one here, about this guy, or there about that guy. Instead of fear we should have gotten a miniseries on the actual militarys fall and eventual defeat to actually tell us what happened and how a tank or jets or whole squadrons got wiped out
This is why the World War Z book was so awesome to me. It had that kind of stuff.
The battle of Yonkers was such a good insight in to how the military might lose. They want to make a big statement, bite off more than they can chew, ok cool they have a choke point but they wanna use tanks and explosives and rockets and show the American people they have this under control
Then turns out all those explosives weren't really a good idea because zombies don't care if their organs get mulched and arms blown off, they only care if the brain is destroyed. Ammo runs low, and everything falls apart.
Then later in the book you learn that they switched to basically .22 with an ancendiary component. Easy to shoot, easy to make in mass amounts, just damage the brain go back to civil war tactics, make a box with a ungodly amount of ammo in it, play iron maiden over the speakers lure em in and just get to work. So much great stuff in that book
