  1.  @DP-ym8zf  spoken like someone who's never heard of LIGHT machine-guns and walking fire. Hell even a belt-fed GPMG like an FN-Mag, M60 or MG3 can be used from the hip in an emergency! And at close range stuff like rate-of-fire, stopping-power, generally getting as much lead as possible in roughly the right places, and most importantly not having to stop & reload, is all a hell of a lot more important than pinpoint accuracy (sure with zombies you'd have to hit them specifically in the head but a bullet hit ANYWHERE on them is still gonna slow them down, and if you're keeping enough lead going in more or less the right direction at 600 rounds a minute or more, and you can even REMOTELY actually shoot properly in the first place lol, you're definitely gonna hit the head soon enough)

  2.  @nautdead3197  what, zombies suddenly being able to run stupidly fast?

  3.  @johngonzalez2495  just because the top brass apparently haven't one proper set of balls OR brains between them doesn't mean that's actually true of the majority of the ordinary rank & file

  4.  Joocey Pale Boi  the only military we see in 28 days later are pretty far from what I'd consider "competent"

  5. The biggest excuse (and that's all it is, an excuse rather than a legitimate believable reason) given for the military being so ineffective and so easily-overwhelmed in most zombie stuff, like The Walking Dead and World War Z, is that soldiers are primarily trained to aim for the centre-mass of the body rather than specifically the head, which is true; however if you are shooting someone there and nothing happens, it isn't gonna take a highly-trained professional soldier long to switch his fire to other parts of the body until he finds something that DOES work, and the second target of priority after the main body would always BE the head, and as soon as one soldier does that successfully so will all those beside him, and the information would immediately be radioed and relayed everywhere else too; also unless you've strapped the armour from a damn TANK directly to your body before becoming a zombie lol, direct hits from real bullets from military-grade weapons on ANY part of your body WILL always slow the human body down at the very least if not actually throw it backward, just from the impact and muscle-damage alone, zombie or not- which in turn would of course be buying the aforementioned soldiers time to figure out where to aim next. As for the other big reason given, psychological impact of seeing the dead come back to life, I honestly don't think that would have the same impact on soldiers as it would on other people (even in a world WITHOUT zombies in every other movie, video game, book and TV show they'll have ever watched, read or played lol). They're already highly-trained, intensely-disciplined professionals expecting to be sent to war, they're taught to expect & accept violent and horrifying injury, carnage, death & destruction being all around and to find ways to keep going with their duty despite it (oh they'll get PTSD later sure but in the heat of the moment they'll keep going- fight now, grieve and brood later); and of course many of the older soldiers will already be combat veterans anyway so they'll be even less affected, and they can in turn steady the resolve of the newer recruits around them

  7.  @Skybreaker1337  the only reason the Emu's quote "won" the Emu War in Australia was because they were tens of thousands of Emu's, up against about four rather incompetent dudes in a truck, with just two WW1 Lewis Guns. No tanks, no artillery, no warships, no cruise missiles or drones, no helicopters, jet-fighters or strategic bombers, no elite special forces commando-teams or genius scientists or massive logistical support, NONE of the stuff America would definitely have in abundance in a zombie apocalypse, no, instead it was just a single squad of off-duty Aussie morons with inadequate training & equipment and obsolete weapons. And they still killed a good thousand Emu's
