  • And which ones are those?


    Your sense of the importance of Wingate and Burma and how they should be interpreted as regards the overall performance of the British Army in WWII seem pretty out of touch with the conventional wisdom.

      My supposed 'sense of importance'.


      That's your idea of a direct quote of my:

      ...idiosyncratic views.


      Sounds like an incorrect paraphrase to me...
      Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

      ...patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone. Edith Cavell, 1915

        • I'd call the Germans and Japanese in WW2 many things but wusses isn't one of them. I'd say the same about all the major combatants.

              In my city they are considered heroes. Screwed by Montgomory but still giving their lives trying to get to the bridge.
              Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards

                  Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

                        • I think the rapture thread was new.

                          Maybe Howard the Duck too.

                          We have a lot more economics threads, and KH's position has changed quite a bit.

                          • I'm going to guess that KH's position changed from "largely wrong" to "largely right".
