I guess it was necessary to remove Sarge's squad from the story, but you would think that they would have tested the non-lethal weapons on a small group before sitting out there and calling a group of them to you.
Though that scene does show the helplessness of the Government's response to the crisis and the fact that this situation is entirely new and unknown.

I wasn't wild about the way Sarge's platoon died. I thought it was a little unrealistic. The military was already being overrun, I doubt they would ever temper their response like that.

Yeah, did no one think to themselves "What do we do if it doesn't work?" Though in a way it does feel sort of realistic. Soldiers' lives are wasted all the time in war when someone of rank give stupid orders.

True, but by the time the army was deployed....they would have already had the advantage of seeing an alien vs. police force and an alien vs. national guard matchup. I somehow doubt that they would jump in and try to go all non-lethal when it was already so far out of hand.

I just figured this was a quick way to set the stage on what the military and government is doing to try to beat the infected. But yeah looking back it was a huge waste of human life when that is just as valuable as a weapon that would work.
