"I have only ever claimed,
1: That Britain had no choice but to resist the German onslaught;
2: That the British people overwhelmingly understood and accepted that;
3: That the British army was not badly led"
A lie repeated remains I lie and an idiot repeating that lie remains an idiot.
I outlined what you supported - lying about it only compounds your idiocy
And no - both programmes highlighted the idiocy of the military leadership and both dealt in depth with the dishonesty and ruthlessness of the eventually failed recruiting drive which made sure that the British people certainly did not know why they were fighting.
"I read History"
Utter bollocks - it's been long established that the nearest you come to reading is cut-'n -pastes, and you appear not to read them properly
I'd join Terrytoon in his bar-room-table-top war games if I were you - at least you'll have a fellow idiot to talk to.
