I agree with this entirely, but I would also like to add the point; Why? Why would the government send in Spec Ops into a town with next to no value or significance (If you read the bio you see that they describe Muldraugh pretty negative as in ,'most live below the poverty line' etc.) If they really wanted to eliminate the zombies in an offensive way they would just fire bomb it and say it was terrorist's or something (That's not me having a go about 9/11 its just an idea for how they would convince the public that they weren't in the wrong.) You have to assume that the disease is airborne or something, that explains why they don't want to bomb it, that would spread the virus or whatever. The only problem with this theory is that when kate dies she doesn't reanimate, they should totally make that so though; I love the walking dead!
