Whether you believe it or not, our parts of the US Interstate System was
built so that the military could move men and machines rapidly from the

That was indeed part of the rationale for building the interstate
highway system.  Along with bolstering the economy (always an
American favorite) and reducing fatal accidents.

It doesn't matter what the American rationale was. All I'm saying is
that the western world doesn't need inspiration from the Nazis to
build highways between its cities.

I was talking about America and American roads, not the Western world.
My point was the American interstate was inspired by the German
Autobahn. There's nothing surprising about that. The Nazis wanted a high
speed roadway network for military reasons and so did the Americans. I
suppose that might be surprising but that purpose is included in the
official name of the US Interstate.
