(A Brit military historian opines)

When one sees the above on a headline, I asked myself, "Can Max Hastings and The Guardian be far behind?"

Click on the link...and sure enough.

Hastings is entitled to his opinion, of course. But, then, one might recall that he was also the biographer/apologist for Bomber Harris.

Seemingly, the effort expended in justifying the carpet bombing of German cities because "that was all Bomber Command was capable of" has wasted away Sir Max's intellect to the point of the military historian becoming a pacifist.
