That said, the fact is we were at war for our very existance. Mistakes were made and I doubt that Capt. Burrell could have done any better. Hindsight is always 20/20.

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.
