Point of order. You can't call older views revisionist vis a vis new views.

Funny how they all got their donkeys barbecued on the road to Damascus about the same time the establishment wanted history sanitising in order to make the armed forces look better than they are. Too many dead soldiers in recent conflicts. Can't have poor leadership questioned now they can be sued by widows for not leading and protecting their men eh?

(Just in case anyone wondered what all the recent sanitising of incompetence is all about.

As someone once charged with looking at efficiency in The NHS, the criminal waste and corruption of The MOD is something I take more than a passing interest in.)
