To address the points you brought up, the military fell into chaos as a few soldiers panicked about the infection and tried to flee, shooting anyone who tried to stop them. I would assume that most used this chaos to flee while the more 'dutiful' soldiers were shot for trying to stop them. I was tempted to have a few soldiers stick around, but I figured that if they were around; they would shoot anyone approaching the fence and end the story kind of anti-climactically.

About Andrew's dialogue as Jonas mentioned at the start of the story, he is very concerned with how he appears to others. He wants to come off as a devil-may-care badass that doesn't care if he offends people and he has a tendency to crib a lot of his lines from action movies or what he thinks sounds cool.

Thanks for taking the time to read it. I have a few other stories posted here, if you're looking for more to read. (Even a couple more novellas.)
