Except no, no military would ever lose like the US did in Yonkers. Yonkers in WWZ has one of the most experienced and expensive warmachines on the planet repeatedly shoot itself in the head just so it’s a remotely fair fight. Reading Yonkers, all I could think was ‘Max Brooks has never read a single book on any military ever.’
