You really think Dunkirk was a militarily defensible position? Really? With all due respect, the only reason they got out of Dunkirk is because the Germans stopped the advance, thinking that they could just mop up with the Luftwaffe.
In no way shape or form, is having your back to the sea, in a tiny pocket, defensible. If the navy at your back was such a counterbalance why did they have to abandon the British forces to the north?
Sorry but the British position at Dunkirk was not sustainable, and I would also note, that even if it were, Britian needed its army back home. We must remember, British armies were no where near the scale of european armies. The British army was that of a sea power, and always has been.
If your post was sarcasm, I apologize for missing it.

Dunkirk, the Patriotic Myth, by Nicholas Harman In short, the Brits didn't want to fight on the continent, and certainly not alone. Panzer attacks never worked against heavily concentrated troops, and the Brits lost more troops by evacuating than they would have by digging in and staying. Quite a few British troops had committed war crimes by using hollow point bullets and didn't want to get caught in France. Others just wanted "blighty" and get sent home. The story of WWII is largely that an avoidable war was fought because the major allies of WWI, simply didn't want to fight. Dunkirk is simply more proof of that fact, which occurred after the long "phoney war".
BTW, you still haven't explained how the Germans held Dunkirk until after VE Day...
