I don't see how humans can lose to zombies.

to me it depends on exactly what zombie you are dealing with; is they're like Dawn of the Dead, Last of Us(not zombies but close enough) or Day Z(with no cure) I think we'd personally be fucked, maybe even thrown in the world of "The Walking Dead" because EVERYONE is infected regardless so being bit or scumming to something like a heart attack and you'll turn.

I would say you'd be safe in a resident evil world 1-3 but hunters, lickers, and tyrants would be something I would not want to deal with.

Tell me, how do any of those zombies take down a tank?

Why would they need too? a tank needs fuel, ammo. A Zombie needs nothing and would outlast it.

Even if the Tank had a base to go back to re-fuel/ammo; even that base has only a certain amount, and not only does that base need those items to supply the tank, its needs food, water to supply those at the base who keep the tank running, and those who drive it. Again, a Zombie needs nothing and is self sufficient.

Even in the best case scenario, the Tank has a base with an everlasting supply of all those things, and never runs out, what about the rest of the world? Zombies would attack anything they see so there goes the rest of the world while your tank lasts forever, even if there was a 1000 bases with tanks, they cant protect the whole world, and eventually the self sufficient would outlast those that arent. 

You're forgetting the concept of my original post - I was referring to one tank in this scenario, but how many tanks does the US military have? How many jets? Helicopters? Weapons of mass destruction?

I only wanted to show how 1 tank alone is destructive enough that it can probably wipe out a few thousand zombies by itself before it runs out of juice. Multiply that, then, with the sheer number of weapons that the military has, and how can zombies fight against that?

I think you're over estimating the effectiveness of a tank against a Zombie.

Its guns, only a bullet to the head stops a Zombie (and I dont think gun of that type has that kind of precision), yeah you could remove its limbs, but unlike the living that just makes a crawling zombie which is harder to spot and bites you or others on the foot and creates another Zombie.

Even the main cannon wouldnt be that effective as again you need to destroy the brain, the explosion causing shrapnel, burns and loss of limbs isnt going to hurt a Zombie.

Jets, what will they do to a Zombie? same above really, but even spotting them when they dont produce heat would prove difficult.

Like in World War Z (book) the MOST effect weapon for killing them is something aching to a shovel with a crack to the head. Makes alot less sound than a gun (not attracting more) doesnt need reloading and you'll know its dead if you hit it in the head.
