None of that bears any relationship to the callous disregard the military top brass had for their men, the jingoism to encourage enlisting, the incompetence and worst of all, the deaths that competent leadership would and could have avoided.

Historians, e.g. those on BBC site, say the British army was well led.
AJP Taylor did not agree, but he knew little of military matters.
He was more politics.

All countries used jingoism to encourage enlisting, but our volunteers had a just cause, according to historians eg those on BBC site and AJP Taylor.

Your version is refuted by historians.
We have not found one that supports you.
Boom, boom, boom.
