"No it does not."
I can see little reason to debate with someone who tells lies and only wants to score points
You keep moving the goalposts - you have been give your behaviour towards the review - that is an exact description of how you reacted and are continue to react
you have not responded to one single point I made in my last posting - you are a shameless, dishonest waste of space.
Both McmIllan and Clark suggested that it took Britain nearly three years to get their act together in assembling a competent and efficient army - McMillan compared it to how long the French took - which meant that for at least two years British troops were fighting badly led and insufficiently trained - hence the high casualties at Loos and on the Somme - you would know this if you had read her book as you claim.
You have been given exampls of actual incompetence - you refuse to respon
d, once more hiding behind historians you haven't read.
"A new generation of British historians, among others, has done much to explode such lazy generalisation"
You are still relying on hastily gathered cut-'n-pastes and are now dishonestly not linking them - This lot comes from this
Who do you think you're kidding, Mr Hitler
