Warm bodies and 28 Days Later were interesting critiques on militaristic society and beliefs. Both the film and the novel focused on survivors who believed that living in a militaristic structured setting would bring safety. However, in the film, this false sense of security led to the closest encounter to death that the survivors had in the entire story. The dichotomy between military bonds and familial bonds were compared extensively. One of the soldiers fought against his superiors in an attempt to save the survivors from their purpose as breeders. However, not once do we see the bond between Jim, Hannah, and Selena falter like the soldiers' bond.

In the book, "R" calls Julie's home a "concrete tomb" (Marrion 210). This encampment did indeed protect the survivors from the zombies. However, the end message of the novel suggests that you need something more than bullets and death in order to save humanity. Because of "R" and Julie's relationship, they created the possibility of preventing any more deaths from acts of love rather than continuing to wage war between the undead and the living.
