the government- freind or foe?
One common occurence I notice as should any avid zombie fan notice is how the military always does quarantine and they end up killing all in that quarantined area(zombie and human alike). Maybe our government's propaganda has brain washed me but I just don't think they would do this. Atleast the U.S. is known for getting large amounts of our nation's soldiers killed just to save a few. thats just what I've noticed.

Well the thing is, let say they wanted to kill us off. I mean its not like all the soldiers are heartless yanno? And what are you gonna do when the gov't is like, alright lets come back and fix it, are you going to rebel against the nice people with big guns? That content with the little kingdom you established where you're blind to the fact that you're still in America? And not a seperate rebel nation?

friend, the gov is only there because of us, their power is useless with civies, they need live people to collect taxes and vote. but then again, if they could contain the outbreak by bombing your hometown, it would feel kinda crappy.
but when the outbreak is over, your gov will soon be the same as before (asses)

personally, I wouldn't trust the bastards in DC. even though they are just trying to do their best, but when it takes 24 or more hours to deploy the nearest NG unit to the outbreak zone. then we got problems.
not to mention that those giving the orders would think that the easiest way to make less chores is to remove the needy from the equation, thus giving the soldier's, who are fallowing orders, a heartless appearance.
However, Like a said in another topic, they would do anything to cover the outbreak, if it hadn't gown out of control yet that is, they would butcher a hole state or two before they can say sorry to the people for thinking only about themselves and their pocket-books.
Overall, if they government decided to pull back to a easier postion they would have to abandon many survivors to fend for themselves.
so its a win-win-lose situation.

I think that in the event of an actual outbreak infantry will only be used in the begining once they are overwhelmed because people will flock towards the military attracting those that are and have been infected the airforce will be called in to "saturate the area" because large outbreaks can not be contained by basic infantry
to survivors Government = Foe

I might find myself working with the military in my town. I whole compound is underground and in this base nukes.
They scratch my back I'll scratch theirs
My crew savages all over Pa in a nomadic style
fleet of no more then 10 vehicles(armored out)
I split my loot 50/50 with them and they supply us with
gear and maybe assistance if our outpost gets swarmed
I can say the whole plan its still a work in process.

I'm going to try to be the optimistic one:
I think the government, despite all its defects, would fight to save its people. And I think as long as the government is fully functioning, we can also take refuge with the military as well.

yea, nut the government is really powerful. if they somewhat take back the us after an apocalyptic situation, they will have access to heavy firepower, and if you resist them, they will destroy you.

I want the Government/Military to stay out of my way as I save my own life and that of my family and friends. I don't see them as friend or foe. They are a tool just like any other tool.

I wouldn't trust the gov't no how. Not because I think they're evil but because their interests and my interests (mainly the survival of myself and my loved ones) do not match.
Government's responsibility would be to keep some functions of the "state" running at all costs because they believe it would do some good in the future even if society collapses now. They would sacrifice a significant portion of the population to do that.
My responsibility would be to my loved ones and self, and our local community, to make sure we can survive and eventually thrive again. Government would thwart my interests if someone in power thought it would be for the "greater good."
