Do you remember how effeciently German troops were moved on the Autobahn? Do you remember how fast our troops moved on the Autobahn once we controlled it?

Do you know what a wonderful target an armored or a mech infantry division--or troops trying to flee with their loot--strung out on a road makes for aircraft in an era of precision-guided weapons?

Yes, I do, even without the overly large visual aide.
Do you know how incompetent a military leader has to be to do such a thing?
That's why advancing campaigns usually win wars whereas retreating/fleeing (cut and run) campaigns usually fail.

...trying to flee...
'Trying' is not 'accomplishing'!
