Perhaps the Australian Army underestimated the strategic genius of the EMUs.

Because his only other option was to drop an atomic bomb on Perth, and we all know what happened at Raccoon City.

The Aussie Army was taking horrendous losses at the hands (okay, talons) of the Emu Horde. It wasn't common knowledge at the time because newspapers weren't on site to report, but surrender was necessary before the defeat became too obvious to deny.

Why did General Seth McKenzie of the Australian Army surrender to the great EMU army in 1932?
