Thanks for the reply. For the record I'm talking about exaggerating the tactical utility (or even outright lying) of highspeed rail so normal people can benefit, in a shit post at work to distract myself.

I guess the answer is to sell high speed rail as having benefit as military project like the interstate highway was.

Like we can have a million soldiers moved from east coast to west coast or vice versa or the borders in less than 6 hours type of thing,
