Thank you Dr. Sinjefe! (I didn't know we had a zombie "expert" on the board!)


And how would you characterize the millions of zombies we have here in the Phoenix area? They move like zombies and enjoy just enough higher brain function to operate a moving vehicle. And while they do not consume human flesh they do seem to mill around with absolutely nothing on their minds and are responsible for thousands of vehicle accidents every year.

That ain't just Phoenix. San Antonio is exactly the same.

You have my sympathy and condolences.........

After living in Florence,Co for years and moving to San Antonio it is funny watching the drivers. Spill a cup of ice on 410 and the city gets shut down. Seriously.

The walking dead is extremely fun to watch although I'd find it hard to believe there wouldn't be any military left.. I've also wondered recently how SF would be utilized in a situation like that.

ODC's shaping regions

ODB's shaping key/defensible centres of gravity

ODA's shaping and building resilience in local communities and force multiplying strategic assets/logistics for recovery operations.

All ultimately herding civilian cats in the right direction and gluing them all together.

Just my guess.

It's a shame that they show the military as so lacklustre.

-----

I'm thinking that if a MDCOA type of event occurred(massive pandemic perhaps) with our dangerously efficient logistics and low inventory makes for an inflexible and brittle system.

I'd think there'd need to be some very flexible and capable folks who can self sustain to jump start key nodes and shift from efficiency to flexibility.

I'd love to see the modelling for it. I'm guessing it'd be like life support/ventilator for a comatose patient unable to breathe for himself.

Tissue death/brain death would happen in different places at different velocities with some "points of no return".

Same with civil society and economy I reckon.

You'd have to invest in not just basic survival, but concurrently invest resources in preventing as much critical "tissue death" as possible for ease of longer term recovery.

-----

It would be cool to see such fiction from a 3 way tactical/operational/strategic level viewpoint. Like a formulaic Tom Clancy book, but with zombies.

There'd be heaps of military left. SF, RF, and Reserves/Guard.

But I'd guess it would include less glow belts, more hands in pockets, and maybe some Viking horns glued onto helmets for morale purposes.

-----

Any who, keen to see how they play out the new series as the viewer gets the ground eye view of Z minus one.

Anything I've ever read/seen seems to show the military as not much more than Star Trek "red shirts" with less effective leadership.

I think it's a bit unfair.

I reckon it would be heaven for well read company/battalion commanders and CSMs/RSMs as well as junior commanders and NCOs.

Manoeuvre warfare doesn't work?

Phalanx and Rorke's Drift tactics might be of value.

It would be a tactical historian/innovator's utopia!

I'm now trying to find a Walking Dead movie poster to go into our little theater room.

Sir,

Have you found a poster yet?

I found this site a bit ago.

Might be something there that you'd like.

The DEAD return tonight !!!!


... and also Tuesday night.

[Sdiver]

*SPOILER ALERT*

Remember folks, there are some who haven't seen tonight's episode ... yet.

.

WHOA !!!!!

Well, the TV show sure isn't following the comic book ... errrr .... graphic novel.

How "he" died in tonight's episode, is NOT how he dies in the comic .... errrr .... aww fuck it, you know what I mean.

Now I'm interested. How does "he" die in the comics?

Also, tonight's episode has probably been the best one in a while.

In a few days, I'll spill it. Let's let people who haven't seen it, catch up.

One thing that was brought up on The Talking Dead, is maybe he's not dead. (Again, more on that as people catch up.)

... and yes, tonight's was one of the better ones in awhile.

[Sdiver]

THE DEAD RETURN TONIGHT !!!!!!

.

[Sdiver]

One of the better episodes, wouldn't you say?

.

[Sdiver]

I would think that the number 1 Golden Rule during the Zombie apocalypse would be ...

PROTECT YOUR FREAKING MEDIC !!!!!

[Sdiver]

So, who's it going to be?

Negan and Lucille make their appearance TONIGHT and word 'round the campfire is .... One of the MAJOR characters gets "personal" with Lucille.

Beating windows are now open ....
