Line 43:
* ''[[World War Z]]'' has the narrator interviewing a Chinese submarine commander who defected. Apparently his reasons weren't political, but rather the truly horrific mindsets of the top Chinese government officials who refused to believe that using [[We Have Reserves|massive numbers]] of [[Zerg Rush|poorly equipped soldiers]] was a bad idea. This despite the fact that every soldier killed by the zeds meant another zombie enemy.
* Lampshaded by [[Vorkosigan Saga|Miles Vorkosigan]] in ''Brothers in Arms:''

'''Miles''': Even if everybody in it dies? 'It didn't work, so let's do it some more'? In my line of work they call that military stupidity. I don't know what they call it in civilian life. }}

* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Dalek", there's a scene with groups of soldiers attacking the eponymous Dalek from three different directions. It's got a force field and bullets do not penetrate. It shoots, and one [[Red Shirt]] gets [[Death Ray
* ''[[wikipedia:Invasion: Earth (TV series)|Invasion Earth]]'' (1998) had the military destroying a massive alien...thing that appeared, only for another one to appear in its place. It was theorised that an infinite number of these aliens were stacked up in alternate realities, waiting to replace each one that's destroyed. Nevertheless the general in charge gives a defiant speech about how they're going to nuke each one that appears, no matter how many, because the fate of the human race is at stake. The series ends without us finding out whether these "all or nothing" tactics are effective.
** Basically the aliens want to turn all life on Earth and everywhere else into [[Organic Technology]] slaves. Most races are pacifists and kill themselves rather than be used. Humans being [[Humanity Is Superior|awesome]] [[Humans Are
** The British [[General Ripper]] Expy gives this [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] speech, "They are going to learn that we won't roll over and die like the [[Actual Pacifist|Echo's]]. We are going to fight. And even if we lose we'll make damn sure that they don't win." I was never so [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|proud to be a human.]]
* The WWI [[Blackadder]] [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Blackadder#Plan_A:_Captain_Cook described] the Allies' [[Zany Scheme|secret plan]] as "climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy" with the drawback being that "everyone always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds." The depressing thing is that these were the Allied tactics in Real Life.

* This is Zapp Brannigan's modus operandi in ''[[Futurama]]'' to simply throw men into a hopeless battle until something happens. It actually works against the kill bots because they have a kill meter and once they reach maximum kill counts they shut off.
