I'm sure there are Army Bases in and around NYC. I was merely questioning how you could not hear the Army until the camera turned around and it showed the men running and shooting with guns. Also, since there were tanks and stuff, I'd imagine you could hear them rolling along in the streets. I don't wonder if and how the army could get in NYC, just the fact that the main characters will be walking along, then the Army is seemingly steps behind them and they unleash all they got.

It's just that since there seemed to be a large medical operation going on, seeing all the beds filled with people and all, that someone there would have noticed her condition. Sure the Army is fighting the monster, but there's plenty of staff right there tending to the wounded. I just figured one of the medics would have noticed her bite. MalReynolds mentioned that she had a sweater completely covering it, so that might be the reason why they didn't react to her until they did. I can't remember if she did or didn't have it covered up like this, so his response might be the answer to that question.
