World War Z: Chapter 46 Aboard the Mauro Altieri, Three Thousand Feet Above Vaalajarvi, Finland
This chapter is talking about the Interviewer continues his discussion with Travis. General D'Ambrosia in the Command Information Center. Also, they are three thousand feet above Finland because the CIC is a dirigible. Travis mentions how worried he was when the order came in to attack. Travis mentions how worried he was when the order came in to attack. He wonders if that surprises the Interviewer, what with all of Hollywood's generals being egocentric clowns in dress blues. However, in fact Travis was scared to death about sending men to die against two million zombies. The things only get worse. They couldn't rely on the old rules of war anymore. They had to come up with complete new ones. Also, when the old rules of war predate history itself, rewriting them proves no small task. Travis mentions that all armies must be bred, fed, and led. What that breaks down to is that you have to breed people to fight, feed them so they can keep fighting, and have someone to lead them to and in the fight. Zombies aren't restricted by bred, fed, and led. They need no supplies other than humans to munch on and resurrect as one of their own members. It was a decidedly unfair advantage. Travis wonders if the Interviewer's heard the expression total war. It's the expression used when a country has geared itself for 100-percent. The expression is total bunk, if you ask him. First, no populace will be 100% in favor of a war all the time. When are they going to sleep? Second, nations have limits: body limits, food limits, resource limits, and so on. But zombies don't have those limits. They are geared for total war, 100% of the time.
