Unless the hydra is more like Godzila, in which case.... napalm? Yeah, good luck, army! ^_^

Yep, just napalm. The U.S. army has the technology to do it. They can even send robots to kill the Gorgons.

While this is true, it would probably take then about 1000 casualties to work it out. After all, the first time they encouter them they will have no idea what they are facing. And then even when they do work out that guys are being turned to stone, Kolchak still wont be able to get anyone to listen to his crazy ideas that these are monsters from mythology.

Same goes for the Hydra. First time they fight it they will try to take it down with conventional heavy ordinance after they have lost some platoons. Which will knock it out pretty easy, and then when the ground troops move in to secure the area suddenly its start growning extra heads and eating people. By the time they get the idea to use napalm it will have eaten a few hundred soldiers and crushed a quite a lot of tanks.

Oh, and are these Perez gorgons or Rucka gorgons. Cause if its Rucka's variety the first time the robots camera recorders send back images you just lost you entire command centre. Maybe a few important rooms in the Pentagon as well.

I'm pretty sure thousands of people would have died as well before Wonder Woman came to save the day. There's a considerable lapse of time that occurs when a monster first appears and the hero learns about it. Disaster always strikes before things get better. And I'm pretty confident the U.S. military has the adequate weapons to kill a Hydra and the Gorgons without loosing entire platoons.

Yes, I can hear it now. "We've got it under control Kolchak - we dont need armchair quarterbacking from some hack reporter whose watched too many old Harryhausen movies! Unless your the one whose stoned! Now get him out of here!!!"

A gorgon only has to catch your eye and your dead. And in both these cases you need to use the right tactics. You cant just blow up the Hyrda. Indeed, if you did you might well end up with multiple Hyrdra's rather than just mulitple heads.

Also you assume a gorgon will just stand there and let you shoot at her. Which lets face it is notoriously hard to do anyway if you cant look at her. But in the first encounter she woudl probably just surrender. Whole squads would then die in seconds. And since US soldiers have a natural tendency to look at what they are shooting at...

It's a top top secret fact that all US citizens are trained to neutralize gorgons and hydra. All part of the standard education in jr. high. It's what we do in gym after the football season.

I have absolute faith in the preparedness of the country that gave us "Duck and Cover".

"Duck and Cover" is actually a British import. Perhaps it was Lennox's plan. ;)
