"Jim, I produced a string of historians including all the ones involved in BBC history site."
Yeah - sure you did Keith - don't you always!!!!
You deliberately ignored the episodes on recruiting, the fact that the main recruiter became a millionaire on the proceeds of his campaign to send young men to their deaths, the emotional blackmail involved and the fact that he was eventually jailed as a crook.
You ignored the disillusionment of the troops lucky enough to get home on leave and being disgusted to find that people were behaving as if the war wasn't happening, the fiasco of Haig having to resign because of his failure to deliver ammunition (what was it you said about him - adored by his men, or some such shit?)
You continue to ignore the charges against him, having tried to pass the author off as a "blogger".
You ranted at great length about the men who wnt away and returned "devoted to the cause" yet you choose to ignore the attitudes expressed by those who did return - oh, I forgot, tey're "liars"v aren't they...
As I said - flag-wagging clown of the first water.
Leopards, spots and all that!
