Zombies.............. Our hard earned tax dollars wasted yet again. The Pentagon also came up with this little gem of an idea.

I think you mean faaaaabulous!

Also as silly as your traditional zombie apocalypse is, an actual pandemic or large-scale disaster would require a similar emergency response, so playing around with the concept does have practical applications.

From your own article:

In an unclassified document titled "CONOP 8888," officials from U.S. Strategic Command used the specter of a planet-wide attack by the walking dead as a training template for how to plan for real-life, large-scale operations, emergencies and catastrophes.

In other words it really is money well spent- because it is really training for widespread civil unrest and/or chaos in the wake of something like say...the collapse of the dollar, breakdown of basic food distribution infrastructure or even revolution.

I know, I just found the shorthand description hilarious.

I wonder if they wanted to paint the bomb pink for identification purposes? Heaven forbid if they accidentally dropped it on our own troops.

LOL

I wouldn't doubt the level of devastation that the Pentagon seems to mention without mentioning.
