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.

Do you know how incompetent a military leader has to be to do such a thing?

It is exactly what you suggested. I take it you're offering a comment on your own competency to make military judgements.

You raised the spectre of an invading army using these roads. I pointed out what happens to an army in the open on roads in this day and age.

That's why advancing campaigns usually win wars whereas retreating/fleeing (cut and run) campaigns usually fail.

I'm sure that any surviving members of the German Sixth Army would offer to disagree.

You are confusing cause and effect.
