Zombie training
The Associated Press reports that the latest exercise for the military and police are using a Zombie Apocalypse as the scenario.
Hundreds of military, law enforcement and medical personnel will observe the Hollywood-style production of a zombie attack as part of their emergency response training.
In the scenario, a VIP and his personal detail are trapped in a village, surrounded by zombies when a bomb explodes. The VIP is wounded and his team must move through the town while dodging bullets and shooting back at the invading zombies. At one point, some members of the team are bit by zombies and must be taken to a field medical facility for decontamination and treatment.
“No one knows what the zombies will do in our scenario, but quite frankly no one knows what a terrorist will do,” Barker said. “If a law enforcement officer sees a zombie and says, `Freeze, get your hands in the air!’ What’s the zombie going to do? He’s going to moan at you. If someone on PCP or some other psychotic drug is told that, the truth is he’s not going to react to you.”
The keynote speaker beforehand will be a retired top spook – former CIA Director Michael Hayden.
“No doubt when a zombie apocalypse occurs, it’s going to be a federal incident, so we’re making it happen,” Barker said. Since word got out about the exercise, they’ve had calls from “every whack job in the world” about whether the U.S. government is really preparing for a zombie event.
I think they’re trying to make me buy more ammo.

A fine way to spend Federal money, indeed.
I was sure when I read this that it was Duffel Blog, it just had to be a joke….but alas, no. Sheesh.
By “Zombie Apocalypse” are they realy refering to an Obama rally.
I hit the Duffel Blog on this one too.
So I guess the important question here is. Is it going to be 28 Days Later zombies, The Dawn of the Dead remake zombies, shamblers or the STALKER brain fried zombies with guns that we’re wasting money on?
That or they know something that we don’t. Maybe it’s time for some tinfoil…
This is about the third time I’ve seen a real story associated with a zombie invasion with a Federal agency attached to it. For FEMA, they tried to make very dry subject matter more interesting as they attempted to let us know how to handle a pandemic situation. No live ammo was used in our class. 🙂
Another fine example of your tax dollars at work….let’s pretend that “terrorists” are some sort of an unknown entity like a “zombie” instead of a radical muslim dressed in civilian gear common in the areas they inhabit…we certainly don’t want to offend any muslims….because we all know when they are offended they riot and murder people….
Maybe that’s the scenario we should run, show a print shop distributing cartoons of their dopey little prophet masturbating on his mountain. And then have the muslims go berserk and trying to murder everyone at work in the printing company because that’s what muslims actually do…not zombies, muslims…muslims kill people who offend their tender sensibilities because they are the religion of peace and peace to a muslim means every non-muslim who dares question their deity should die a violent death at the hands of the peaceful muslims….
Someday our nation will wake up out of its’ idiotic slumber of political correctness and identify our enemies as our enemies. Perhaps not all muslims are our enemies, but there are enough muslims who in fact our willing to kill themselves to kill a few of us that we should be wary of every single muslim and let them know we don’t trust them. Because even the peaceful, prophet fearing muslims know if they open their mouths in protest of their brethren who shoot children that their brethren will kill them too….
The Zombie senerio is based on real life events. Just look at the amount of lifeless individual who live and work in the Wash DC area alone.
If only it had been Zombies in Bengazie it would on been no problem at all! Assests would of been available. Funny how we can have a contengency plan for Zombies attacking a VIP but not one when terrorist attack our ambassador. I guess they figure it is easier to open a dialogue with terrorist than it is to open one with Zombies.
@7….Well said!
If this ends up named “EXERCISE RIGID CRANK”, someone’s having way too much fun . . . . (smile)
Guess this makes perfect sense to those who live in a self-imposed alternate universe.
The rest of us? Not so much.
Hmmm Hondo how about….’Operation Gallant Limp’
Thanks for reminding me that I missed “The Walking Dead” last night.
Hondo and Darby, both of you made me laugh thank you…
Sadly, I think the actual name is “Operation More Stupid Sh1t”
Don’t worry, VOV — I came up with a brilliant idea for a non-PC book that will piss off everyone who reads it, especially the Occutards, the fringe populations and the far-left and far-right.
These will be the zombies from “Shaun of the Dead”.
Have they established ROE’s for engaging the Zombies? Will they have t be read their Miranda Rights if/when taken into custody. Have we tried to have an open dialogue with them to come to a peaceful coexistance. The last thing we don’t need is another race of people angry at us. An what about Code Pink, are they on board with this, or can we expect more protests from them? So many questions, so little answers.
Code Pink? They ARE the zombies, right?
OWB, i stand corrected. BTW, what happened with their road trip to Pakistan?
Code Pink loves zombies because the only guys they can get are the rotting shells of what used to be a man….
EX-PH2,
Any non-PC book has my immediate interest….

Jesus H. Christ! This government is being run by madmen.
I do believe that what I thought about California is true, whatever affects their minds must be in the air and water. Regardless, most of the citizens there are nucking futz…
