You're forgetting that the military has unmanned drones. With drones, things can all be done remotely, drawing in, bombing, rinse and repeat. The drone itself can be the one doing the bombing too.

Don't forget that we're dealing with a stupid enemy. An enemy that can't think and an enemy that can't understand what an ambush is. They see a machine gun bunker, they'll just run straight at it. Do you think that zombies understand siege warfare? No, they'll just keep running into a meat grinder if they see something to eat in there. You want this even easier? Lay land mines all over the place and just put a piece of meat 100 feet behind them and watch the zombies slaughter themselves.

Just remember, the enemy is mindless and will just go forward. They don't have strategy and they can't understand when strategy is being used against them. Don't think as if the zombies will fight humans the way humans will fight humans. Think of them as wild animals.. Humans tamed them a long time ago. Before, they were dangerous. Now, any guy with a hunting rifle can just lay the smack down on even the fiercest king of the jungle. Why is that? Because wild animals can't think of strategy.

So you're assuming these tank shells, which can come from say, a thousand tanks, will never hit a single zombie head? And assuming they don't, you're assuming that a zombie without legs or arms can still be dangerous?

Your assumptions also seem to say that ships and armies need to resupply every day, and that's simply not the case. Take WW2 for example. Iwo Jima took 10 freaking days of non-stop bombardment before the troops landed. Do you think the ships had to go back and forth to base in order to do that? The nearest base must've been a thousand miles way. And remember, that was more than 60 years ago. The military's resupply methods and weapons systems have only since improved a hundredfold. For instance, a single nuclear powered aircraft carrier has enough juice to never resupply for up to 25 years.

And zombies aren't endless. Remember, zombies are only the weird remains of humans. There are only 7 billion people in the world, so there's a maximum of 7 billion zombies to kill. However, we're also saying that a human population exists to fight them, surely a whole lot of people are dead and not able to come back, and a lot of those people are children/elderly/disabled so it's likely to be a lot less than 7 billion.

Probably 3-4 billion bodies at maximum, and a single MOAB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_Massive_Ordnance_Air_Blast) can wipe out hundreds of thousands of bodies by itself. We're talking 11 freaking tons of TNT and the military has 15 of these bad boys. Not to mention the thousands upon thousands of other conventional bombs that the military has in possession (I'm removing nuclear weapons from the equation, but if the military wanted to, they can use them). You gonna tell me that these things won't destroy zombies? Sheesh, these things destroy COUNTRIES. You gonna tell me the military will run out of bombs? Impossible. There're enough conventional bombs in the world to wipe out the whole human population ten times over.

And your resupply argument doesn't make any sense. The troops deployed in Iraq don't need to come back to the US to get new bombs and bullets. They bring enough to start armaggeddon and can get airdrops daily for fresh supplies.

It is all in good fun :P

My whole argument centers around the fact that zombies aren't smart. They're mindless bodies that can be drawn into one area and destroyed. Just tie a piece of meat to a robotic drone and have it run around in circles. Then when the zombies start to swarm around it, drop some shells all over the place. This tactic can be easily done over and over again because zombies can't think and can't digest the fact that they're being tricked. Factor that into the equation and you'll see that it's really so easy for humans to win.

Drones.. they can fly themself? refuel themself? re arm themselfs? how many people can control a drone? the human part of the military is the weakest point of it all.. they need food, they need water.. they need ammo.. a lot of countries don't even have landmines.. so you kill some zombies with the landmines at the first wave, who is gonna go outside to put down the mines for the second, third, fourth wave?

With the massive amount of zombies they don't need strategy. Military would always have to set priorities. they don't have the numbers. Are you gonna refuel a drone, a fighterplane or a troop transport plane, are you bringing ammo to New York or Los Angeles. Are the soldiers gonna protect the base, a hospital or a school.

Bombing is very inefficient against population, and mostly used against factories, military offices, or as a psychological warfare against population. I think you don't really understand how much tons it takes. Allies sent 1,500,000 tons on Germany alone. Just think about your "freaking" 11 tons bombs... 15 of them. So, about 1,500,000 tons on Germany, and I don't think it even killed 1 million people. OK, germans could hide better than zombies, but they were easier target in cities than zombies spreading and around civilians you don't want to kill. Vietnam took 7 millions tons and ended by a loss. How many billions tons, and for what consequences ? And, when do you start abandonning the idea of preserving your population, city, facilities ? Before, or after the first billion ?

oh and I certainly agree, zombies are mindless beings and I'm ceratin the the average adult would dispacth of them easly, and I agree with you premise that humans won't "lose" to zombies as in there won't be 7 billion zombies roaming earth. my arguement is(and maybe off topic but) there's only so much you can do to contain a virus, it's simple biology once a virus is created; it can never be completely eradicated(as of yet)  viruses are know to mutating and adpating, it could lay dormant in one species but be highly contagious to another i.e.  the real life spores ND used to make TLOU;  doesn't affect human or any other animals but higly contagious for most bugs.

I hate to keep using TLOU/WD but they show a perfect example that humans can reach a level of "Staus quo" they have cites and their own authoritative force, I think were you and I differ is our belief in our militarys might to get the job done, going by wiki our total military we have approx.  2.2 million(active and reserve) and thow in 800,000 cops(again from wiki) you have approx 3 mil which equates for about 1% of the US population, heaven forbid we bring in canada and mexico into the equation.(as I'm sure border security would be the last thing on people mind)

Again, you revert to the supply argument. As I said before, this war wouldn't last long because of how easily susceptible the enemy is to even the simplest strategies. The supply argument is valid, but only if the war is a war of attrition. However, if the enemy can be drawn so easily, supply won't be an issue.

What about you try and go against my main argument, that zombies are mindless and are therefore very easily taken by ambushes and human strategic capacity? I've answered those same points you raised over and over again already.

Numbers of soldiers aren't necessary. Think of it this way. North Korea has a larger standing army than the US. But who do you think would win?

Again, my argument centers around our military technology. Our capability to destroy huge populations without even a pair of boots touching the ground.

Um.. Humans hide in buildings, hide in underground bunkers, hide in fallout shelters... Do zombies hide? No, they just run at you.. That's the point of this whole thing. Zombies in open field + a huge bomb = death to all zombies.
