True.
However, if one wanted they could spend a life time chronicling the BLUNDERS of the BRITISH military during WWII.

Hell, the outright IDIOCY and arrogance of 'Monty' alone (from Africa onward) extended the war at least a year.

As an example I offer three words: Operation Market Garden.

No argument concerning 'Monty'.

However, since I was a boy, I have always admired the Brits for holding on and taking the punches without folding. The french on the other hand have always earned my disdain.
