Zombie Soldiers? Can someone explain why this isn’t a good idea?

That’s right, Zombie Soldiers. It seems that the boffins in the US Military’s Research and Development arm, DARPA, are currently investigating the possibility of turning those GI Joes into the undead. Really? Honestly? Haven’t you been to the cinema or played a Resident Evil game recently? Just like with agriculture and wisdom coming from the field, surely when it comes to preventing Zombie Apocalypses, wisdom comes from the memes’ people…

OK, so we might be taking a more juvenile approach here and the plucky US aren’t zombifying their troops to come up with sequel to Jacobs Ladder with a ‘Z’ twist; the idea is to place those injured soldiers in the field into a semi-animated state when severely injured. A simple injection will minimise the metabolic needs and shut down brain and heart functions, thus reducing the demands upon the body, under the stress of receiving a wound, and stop the solider from bleeding out. Current statistics indicate that around half of all US fatalities are caused by massive blood loss, however by placing those injured soldiers into a semi-animated (or zombie state) more lives can be saved.

At the moment those super smart eggheads are currently testing the zombie injection (and vaccine) on pigs. Yes, zombie freaking pigs! And assuming nothing occurs with that exercise (such as the rather tasty prospect of zombie bacon that bleeds Tommie K), Dr Miller from DARPA confidently predicts…

Once the team comes up with the right elixir, it’ll undergo federally mandated safety testing. After that, the zombie vaccine will be sent to the battlefield for human application.

All sounds rather above board but why stop there Dr Miller? Surely seeking a proper reanimation injection is a) full of one thousand percent more Win, b) will scare the living daylights out of ‘Johnny Foreigner’ when those bullets just doesn’t stop the shambling hoard and c) will end all wars allowing ‘The Flintstones’ to reprises its mid 80′s 6pm slot on BBC1 instead of the news. Anyone else stocking up with food with this latest revelation?
