The problem with the military is that is used to dealing either A) Another Military or B) Insurgents/Guerrilla fighters. Their weaponry, training, and gear are all there to deal with this.
Also firing into crowds of seemingly unarmed people has been generally discouraged over the years. Add all of this together and a society that has no fictional references to zombies may be caught off guard before an effective response can be organized.
People are generally against any changes to practices regarding how to deal with a dead person. Even if they have been told by those in authority that not changing those practices could lead there and there families death.
At the beginning of the Ebola epidemic, a huge number of people didn't believe Ebola existed. They thought it was just a suped-up version of malaria or aids. They would go into the treatment centers get there dead or dying relatives and take them home. Others never took there family members to be treated and simply cared for them at home. These actions lead to the whole families becoming infected and spreading the disease further.
If you want to read more on what the world might actually do against zombies you should read World War Z. Not watch the abortion of a movie. The description of the battle of Yonkers (in the book) showed how politics/incompetence could cause the mightiest military to be overrun by such a simple force. Granted in World War Z you can only become a zombie by being infected by another zombie. So if you die from any other means you will not become a zombie. Thus safe zones could be established.
