So, after the last two years you are still questioning a central governments ability to live through a worldwide pandemiccatastrophic situation killing millions of people and simply act for months as if nothing is happening? Really?
Here are some reasons why they would not send the military...
- Acknowledging the zombie apocalypse would be "bad for the economy", and that would impact the shareholder values of people who give generous campaign donations... Better be safe and just claim it is fake news.
- A zombie apocalypse would make the current government/president/party look bad. Or we might even have to admit to making mistakes, soor not knowing something... So we better act as if it doesn't happen and claim it is fake news.
- Sending the military would cost money, you know, and who is gonna pay for that? ItCitizens eaten by zombies don't cost you anything, so it is cheaper to claim it is fake news.
- Why send the military for something which is not worse than your average flu? My aunt was eaten by a zombie and was completely fine, but THE FLU KILLS PEOPLE!!11
- Why send the military if you can kill the zombies easily yourself with hydroxychloroquine, or horse deworming drugs? I have this on good authority from multiple people who have read online about a news report of this rumor being told by at least one guy in Alabama who could not even spell 'hydroxychloroquine'... or 'horse'.
- Killing the zombies would "split society", and that is the worst thing that can happen, you know, so better to just ignore them.
- Sending the military is construed to somehow infringe upon peoples freedoms, and for the powers that be these might be more valuable than keeping zombie death numbers low.
... I could go on.
DamnWow. This answer would be funnier if it wasn't so true.
