“Except in this case we’re talking about many small interconnected rural communities and urbanites who don’t have the sense to do more than head down the highway to the next city.”

Think about Sherman’s march, those small interconnected rural communities really did a number on him didn’t they? Nope, sorry you’ll be mowed down like clover.

Sherman’s march has just about nothing to do with any situation we are considering.

Sherman had over 100,000 men well supported marching through and area where nearly all the men were gone.

Sherman was opposed by a small army without any hope of really stopping him.

A much more realistic comparison would be Mosby’s rangers in Virginia.
