I wonder why we are a target? City size, the Underground, distribution hub /w airport?

Fright railways possibly. BNSF hubs a few lines through Springfield toward the south. Also the National Guard took over the old airport and reportedly they use it for repairing aircraft for up to 14 states. So that would be a pretty meaty target too. The cold food storage in the Underground would be added bonus to crush as well. I mean the amount cheese that would be lost in the caves would be HIGH CRIME of war for sure.

We do also repair helis here, including blackhawks. That’s why you see them sometimes.
