The Pentagon's Zombie survival Plan

Seeing as Palin posted about the waste of tax dollars, about a week after this news article came out, I suspect she is talking about the waste of tax payer dollars on this Pentagon plan and not the CDC promotion, that was over 3 yrs ago.

According to a report in Foreign Policy magazine, the Defense Department — with a 2014 budget of more than $500 billion—maintains a disaster preparation document called "CONOP 8888," which in fact is a zombie survival plan. It was developed to train commanders in the art of strategizing for a catastrophe.

Foreign Policy bills it as a "how to guide for military planners" trying to save the population from an onslaught of the undead.

The zombie offensive is part of what the DoD calls "fictional contingency planning guidance" that asks military commanders to come up with a blueprint to "preserve non-zombie humans from the threat posed by a zombie horde," Foreign Policy reported, citing an unclassified Pentagon document.

Without a hint of irony, DoD calls the plan "Counter-Zombie Dominance," and added in the disclaimer section that "this plan was not actually designed as a joke." The "worst case threat scenario," according to the plan, would be high "transmissibility," —legions of the undead infecting humans rapidly, with little way to counter rapidly multiplying hordes of zombies.

According to Foreign Policy, military strategists assigned to Omaha's U.S. Strategic Command wrote the document in April 2011, as part of game plan to protect citizens against any kind of threat.

"Planners ... realized that training examples for plans must accommodate the political fallout that occurs if the general public mistakenly believes that a fictional training scenario is actually a real plan," the plan's authors wrote.

They added that "we elected to use a completely-impossible scenario that could never be mistaken for a real plan."

A spokesperson for U.S. Strategic Command distanced the Pentagon from the document, telling Foreign Policy in a statement that the zombie plan was merely a "training tool" that uses a "fictional training scenario. This document is not a U.S. Strategic Command plan."

Can any of the resident Palin haters provide evidence that Palin is not aware that this is a fictional situation, yet, a waste of tax $$

You Palin haters are so guillible, you'll believe anything the MSM says, eh?

t has also devised an elaborate plan should a zombie apocalypse befall the country, according to a Defense Department document obtained by CNN.

In an unclassified document titled "CONOP 8888," officials from U.S. Strategic Command used the specter of a planet-wide attack by the walking dead as a training template for how to plan for real-life, large-scale operations, emergencies and catastrophes.

And the Pentagon says there's a reasonable explanation.

"The document is identified as a training tool used in an in-house training exercise where students learn about the basic concepts of military plans and order development through a fictional training scenario," Navy Capt. Pamela Kunze, a spokeswoman for U.S. Strategic Command, told CNN. "This document is not a U.S. Strategic Command plan."

Nevertheless, the preparation and thoroughness exhibited by the Pentagon for how to prepare for a scenario in which Americans are about to be overrun by flesh-eating invaders is quite impressive.
