Crap,
he planned the raid of Dieppe. Look how that turned out.


I wonder why Brits under command of incompetent Generals suffered much less
casaulties than US soldiers under command of military geniuses on D-Day?
you need to study the US civil war and compare MCCLELLAN and Grant to
see why the US didnt like Monte. Grant lost way more people in one day
then MCCLELLAN would loose in his whole tour, but Mcclellan would not
gain any ground, Grant did. All those people that died serveing
MCCLELLAN died for nogthing, and that is the true waste in war.
