I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! I lost my tux at the cleaners! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn’t MY FAULT!

I wanted to take a short break from Jacob discussing the Jian Shi command structure to…show you the Jian Shi command structure.  So, yeah.  That’s a thing.

↓ Transcript
Jian Shi Sargeant: All right, you noodles, listen up! Today we will strike back against the wicked smoothskins and push into their lands to convert more of them to our way of life. We do this not just for vegeance, not just because it is our destiny, but for the glory of all our people. Each of you have the training, the drive, and most importantly the heart to face a world that hates and fears us and wants only the destruction of you and your families. Fight true, brave warriors, and I promise that you shall forever be remembered in myth and song!
Soldier: We're with you, Sargeant!
Soldier: For glory, home and country!
Soldier: Hit 'em hard! No mercy today!
Soldier: Braaaains.

    Shit… Well, at least this implies that they CAN be demoralized. Since a large part of military strategy is more for shock and awe so as to force enemy forces to surrender quickly, if these things can be scared (I’m assuming that if they need a motivational speech, they can be frightened), it won’t necessarily lead to the annihilation of India and most of the world by zombies.

    Heh, one of them said “brains”

  3. Drace says:

    I’m having some issues with the idea that this somehow was set aside by the genocide project.
    Seems too much of a leap.

  4. foxtrack says:

    Smooth skins…. You’ve been playing the fallout games. hehehe

  5. Azeldan says:

    I don’t recall if it’s “canon” or not, but didn’t someone say that what we see in the comic is essentially Roger’s documentary from all his footage? If that’s true I can’t wait to find out how he got his hands on this. Think of the implications: the Jian shi are *recording* this. At some point someone learns how to *translate* it! That’s a whole story in and of itself!

  6. Brad says:

    Azeldan, the answer probably includes micro-cameras, interviews, and “dramatic reconstruction”. 🙂

    Zombies: Craving brains since 1985!

  9. Madorakas says:

    There goes my puting up signs idé.. buger.

  10. Jay says:

    …with their coordination problems, I think they’d be scarier *without* the guns!

    How do they even get the uniforms on?

    This feels like Call of Duty + Any Given Sunday + QWOP
