Jason 27 Posted May 15, 2015 The reason did in the past was simple lot what never happen in Modern day example. First cell phones. Knowledge something this lose happen little sooner. Stuff the hospitial would evacation before thing so out hand. National Guard would over power so easily the commander leave his vehicle would been lot more those Aliens slaughter. Very possible the civilian population or handful survival would hid behind the National Guard.Bigger question is would US government nuke the place. First why did they do it. Two possibility first afraid people be infect risky at best try rescue the people. Another possibility they need to us them as bait to try keep Aliens there wipe all them out. Option doing both include us helicopter to pick up then drop the bomb simple not option. Today it is a option they vehicle take like Helicopter fly like planes so they could. Must of the movie still happen people died mystically untl people caught wind of the Aliens. Hospotl evacuation entirely. Here comes the tricky part what military reason. The US National Guard able to supplied good amount fire support more importantly not need leave vehicle to do far vehicle weapon go. People left no realistic choice weight for the airlift that government so promise. National Guard control over the combat vehicle. If they using them for bait they able evocation them more or less safety. If they were not using bait try make sure spread people infected. They nuked it just same with the National Guardsmen.
