So I've seen posts and comments asking "why Nashville" and I don't think yall realize how most of the critical infrastructures in this country dont concentrate in just NY or DC area.
Memphis is an example. All multimodal train networks connecting the west (BNSF and UP) to the east (CSX and NS) converge at Memphis. Memphis also has the #1 air cargo volume in the US.
Any attack on Memphis will absolutely cripple the movement of goods and services. Think coals for utility, dry bulk like grains for food production, medicine or other time sensitive stuff, and not just your made in china junks.
So yea just because a place is relatively obscured doesn't mean it aint critical.
