The best part about the Emu War is how the wikipedia page has all the details recorded with the exhaustingly loving excess of detail so typical of military historians. Seriously, the article reads like one of the great conflicts of WWI with how much passion is put into it.
I like the section called
The "war"with the old timey portrait.Meredith’s official report noted that his men had suffered no casualties, except for their dignity.
Lol
Another action-comedy movie retelling of the events called The Great Emu War, written by John Cleese, Monty Franklin, Rob Schneider, Camilla Cleese, and Jim Jefferies, was aiming to begin production in 2023 or 2024.
The machine-gunners’ dreams of point-blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month.
I can just hear Jim Jefferies narrating that.
Well, the emus may have won the war, but they didn’t manage to get any kill.
A win is a win.
More power to them, not everyone can do a successful pacifist run
Because the emus were playing 5D chess. Their diplomatic stonewalling is what ultimately won them the war.
Scientists who’ve seen the movie and still: Let’s clone them and find out!
“don’t build the torment nexus”
To be fair, those enclosures were basically designed to be broken out of.
Well in the movie the ranger is being ambushed by the velociraptor, more like outwitted
