First please don't think about anything I might mean.
Secondly I meant rank & file.
Thirdly you are correct about these other debacles and in war there will always be loss of life. But good commanders don't use their troops lives as an ego boost. In fact Gen Currie (even though he was a crook) abhored loosing men. That is why he planned so much. Monty wasn't known for his planning. He sort of reminds me of some of the brass we have heard of in the last few years. If it works accept the Kudos and if it doesn't pass the blame. I am begining to wonder if NDHQ isn't filled wannabe civil servants in uniform. Anyway Brad let's agree to disagree and you may pick the next topic. It's been a slice.
