But anyway I concede. No good can come out of any further "yes, but..." circles about why it's possible for human militaries to make missteps and lose to zombies.
Sad thing is some of the points brought up are interesting to think about*, but I know any attempt to actually discuss it over there (or with people bringing that sort of mentality over here) will result in another circlejerk of
"Military combined arms rulez all, stupid non-STEM trekkie luzer lolz"
For some reason zombies trigger this reaction more than most things.
*The whole 'why didn't they build a walkway' in particular. I eventually came away with, "1) Every cent dedicated towards this anti-zoombie wall had to be fought for, and in the end they had to choose between concessions or not completing the wall at all. 2) The wall was still a work in progress when things went to hell, so in the interest of 'get it done' they just capped it off as it was. 3) Zoombies react violently to human movement, it was judged better not to have meat-morsels patrolling the walls, constantly reminding the zoombies exactly where all the tasty meals had congregated."
#3 in particular applies because the wall actually did work fine until the zoombies became aware that there were people on the other side. Having people visible up top would have just hastened the inevitable.
