"was a deliberate lie"
Unlik your claims about #Tommy Keny, it was not a "deliberate lie"
It was a belief of many that it would be a short war - Kitchener was actually criticised by fellow military and by politicians for his "pessimism" in suggesting otherwise.
What is deliberate is your refusal to even acknowledge the fact that the idea of a short war was one held by government official;s, so if it was 'a myth' it was one encouraged by them in charge to get mn to enlist.
The only people here who tell deliberate lies are you and your mate - still denying your disgusting denigration of war veterans.
