I always thought that the premise was hilarious but also tragic. The reason that machine guns were so brutally effective was because humans were literally walked into their muzzles. Emus were much smarter and decided to NOT do that and had no Field Marshall Haig to force them to do so. Apparently the Australians never considered that possibility…
unfortunately for the Australians, the Emus had enlisted Major Gwynydd Purves Wynne-Aubrey Meredith, formerly of the Royal Australian Artillery Corps, and Sir George Pierce marched the Ozzies straight into the Emu guns.
This is more embarrassing than my country losing the Emu wars, algae cannot run away…
