Worst army guys ever.

The movie was fairly entertaining.

However, what's with the army guys deliberately putting themselves in so much danger? Like at the beginning, when the very first army guy gets bitten.. instead of shooting the zombie, he fights it in hand to hand combat for a few minutes and no one offers to help. This of course leads to him being chomped on while fighting.

Did no one brief these guys? "Oh yeah guys, by the way.. if you get bit, you die." I would think someone would have mentioned that.

Not to mention that any time a zombie was more than 2 feet away, it took at least 3 shots to take them down. The first two would knock it down, then they'd walk up to it and finish it off in the head. What a waste of ammo.

Don't get me wrong.. I'm no sharpshooter and I don't think I could have done any better. But you would think that if these orders came directly from the President himself, they would use someone a little more competent than the local junior ragtag squad.

Agree with you that these were the worst army guys ever.
I mean come on...these guys (and women) are Special Forces???
A group of seven year olds playing war has more cohesion than this group did.
They also were some of the dumbest military types as well.

This movie also had a dangerous message that lardass people like that moron can be in Special Forces. You wouldn't even find people as fat him in conventional soldiers.

"No paid sick leave. Quit stalling, get out of the cab."

The 'special forces' in this film were the absolute worst played soldiers in any movie I have ever seen.

Enough said.

"Special" as in "retarded."

SERIOUSLY your right! And i hated the guy who named his guns. "And my side arm is tough love" that was so gay

definitely the most stupid army people ever. it really frustrated me just how daft they were.

i found myself constantly shouting "shoot them" as they spent most of their time wondering what to do when confronted by a zombie. very strange behaviour indeed.

One thing to take note of also, the Military never sends in a group with these ranks. If special forces or Seals you might see a good mix of a few officers with soldiers but 3 or 4 LT's, a Captain, a Sargent, and some Privates? ..unrealistic

And a Colonel? They send a Colonel in with 7 troops? A Colonel who by the way is younger than all of the other personel. Colonels are usually in the military for well over 20 years. She looks like she signed up last month....

There was no Colonel. Unless you're talking about Caspar, then yeah, but she was there to debrief the AMS agents.
