I have no particular desire to get involved in your pi$$ing contest with Toddsterpatriot. However, I guess I'll have to ping him now. Sorry.

Let's review:

1. You raised the spectre of an invading army using these roads.

2. I pointed out what happens to an army strung out along a road in an era of modern weapons.

3. You questioned the competence of a military commander who puts his army into such straits.

4. I pointed out that you proposed doing exactly that, suggesting that as a benchmark of your competency in such matters.

1. You raised the spectre of an invading army using these roads.
And attempts were made to ridicule me for daring to say such a thing.
2. I pointed out what happens to an army strung out along a road in an era of modern weapons.
No, you pointed out what happens to troops "trying to flee with their loot".
3. You questioned the competence of a military commander who puts his army into such straits.
Wouldn't you?
4. I pointed out that you proposed doing exactly that, suggesting that as a benchmark of your competency in such matters.
You proclaimed it. You've yet to point anything out.
