"Now where and when did I ever say that Jom?"
You have gone throught the motions of calling Tommy Kenny a liar and saying that all soldiers are potential liars and gullible Urban Legend spreaders including the last surviving veteran, Harry Patch - and included in your spiteful diatribe was an attempt to pass doubt on Tommy's war service, including claiming that no soldier of that name appeared in military records - of course, you never for a minute claimed he never served - my arse, you didn't!!
Your and Keith's efforts to defend this ****** bloodbath have dredged every sewer possible - your mate's latest stunt is to drag it even deeper into the shit with accusations of racism - Kith - of all people!!
"I am all ears tell us all who it was in Great Britain that promised anybody a "short war" "
I am all agog to hear you come up with some answers to the questions you have persistently been asked and some of the deliberate lies you have told.
Many soldiers went into the war having been told it would be short - the fact that this was officially believed is obvious in a document explaining why British plans for an supplying food were inadequate.
It doesn't matter that no official statement was made - that was one of the beliefs held by those who voluntarily enlisted
"Both France and Britain had made hardly any serious preparations for maintaining food supplies in the event of a long war.1 Both nations had planned for a very short war and mistakenly believed that stocks held by the military, together with some requisitioning of supplies, would be sufficient to carry them through."

Now how about climbing up out of your sewers - both of you - and answering some questions - an apology for the lies is, I suppose, out of the question!!
