Seems rather logical in the context of what they were thinking with the design of the laser.

A rather tedious task, considering the thousands of soldiers' equivalent of mass they would need to collect to materialize the entire army. Even then, their weaponry seems to be comparatively primitive to ours, and their numbers too few to execute much more than a surprise first attack on a country like the US.

You would then have to assume that the transport process is non-analogous. For me there are just too many leaps of faith to bound across to even consider this (physical army idea) a viable theory.

And let's not consider the thousands of missing person's cases that CLU and co. would have to dodge without any knowledge of real world law enforcement, or if the SHIVA laser could even withstand that many conversions before breaking down and needing repair with parts and skills the CLU doesn't have access to.

One slightly more plausible theory would involve CLU, assuming he has salient knowledge of Flynn's life, "returning" to Encom disguised as Flynn, giving him the opportunity and power to amass an army in secret. However it wouldn't have required CLU to send his entire army through the portal at once, so that's a bust.
