Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
It's no good (from an evolutionary point of view) to have the physique of Tarzan if you have the sex drive of a philosopher. -- Michael Ruse
The Nedaverse I can accept, but not the Berzaverse. There can only be so many alternate realities. -- Elok
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Douglas Adams (Influential author)
Wingate pioneered what we now know as special forces operations- relatively small elite forces operating behind enemy lines to create chaos. In Ethiopia his Gieon Force (never more than 1700 strong) took over 15,000 Italian prisoners and drove back two armies.
However it's for his Burmese actions that he's best remembered. He founded the Chindits- a small force of fast-moving guerillas supplied by air that repeatedly cut Japanese supply lines. The Chindits were the first British forces to really hurt the Japanese advance, and made them look horribly vulnerable.
Wingate was howlingly eccentric, and had to be placed in extremely hazardous commands- in safe postings he became depressed, and when placed in a desk position in Cairo he attempted suicide. He was also a hugely enthusiastic nudist, and rarely wore clothes while giving staff briefings.
In defense of Monty and Market Garden - audacity, audacity-always audacity. Was it a gamble? Yes. Were the losses staggering? Yes. Was it doomed from the outset? Absolutely not. Were the fruits of success worth the risk? Of course. The whole of postwar Europe might have looked different, i.e. the Russians would be further away. Maybe even the Cold war would have been less cold.
I am of course biased, in a sense that maybe, just maybe, there would be an armistice with Russians halfway through Poland, and with Germany under control of Western Allies, Eastern Europe would not have been sold down the drain in Yalta...
