Question by Alinsky Dutch: How would you want Military forces incorperated into a Zombie story?
How would you want Military forces incorperated into a Zombie story?

Would you like it if Military was incorporated, or would you preffer no military?

Would the military, if incorporated in a story, have to be realistic in involvement?

Best answer:

Answer by Pecos Bill
You do have some options here. If the Military shows up in full force, the zombies are done for, so you can?t do it that way unless you?re using them to finish off the story. An isolated unit, perhaps, or a few stragglers joining with other people to fight the zombies might work.
