EDIT: in case you want to take a city back, just deploy squads on top of buildings in helicopters, and be sure the soldiers don't run out of ammo.

by the time those "first few days" have passed, it can be expected that at least a solid amount of people have been infected. and putting soldiers on rooftops is a bad idea. theyll be walkers in the buildings too. most tall building have only one way, which is the door. what will the men do when there isnt much support at the moment and thiers hundreds of them going through that door? Sure, there might be some smart officers that tell them to try control the flow by letting them in one by one. but how many of those officers will there be? and shortages happen all the time, theres no such thing as unlimited resources. and attracting them outside the city is especially a bad idea. no control flow and just spread out with numbers much so on the zombie's side. how many of those shots and explosions will kill the brain?
