"I read History so I knew."
Yeah - sure, you do - just like you watch television documentaries.
"What about the 80% figure you challenged me about?"
I challenged your fantasy figure that %80 of the soldiers went away with your equally fantasised claim of their reasons for going in the first place
There has never been a dispute on how many soldiers returned, and if there was, where exactly does that dispute fit into the only three points you have made (or are you about to add a forth?
A reminder:
You have only made statements on: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.
