why did the ghostbusters request the army for their battle with gozer


and why didn’t they step in when stay puft showed up?

great scene though.

I always assumed the army was because of unseen riots in the city. Or maybe they were there cause some government officials thought they could fight against the supernatural beings.

Yeah New York City was in chaos after Peck made the Ghostbusters shut down the Containment unit so that makes sense.
